The Delta Hospital Foundation is taking Delta's future health care needs to the street with the launch of a door-to-door fundraising campaign this week.
Working on behalf of the foundation, fundraisers will be in and around North Delta and South Delta looking for the support of its residents.
The foundation launched this fundraising initiative in support of its HiHigh Level Master Plan. The big picture is to transform Delta Hospital to better meet current and future health needs of Delta residents, starting with diagnostic services.
"As part of this expansion, diagnostic services will increase 2.5 times in size," said Lisa Hoglund, the foundation's annual giving manager. "But we can't do this alone. We need the community's support."
Delta Hospital is the only site that houses medical Imaging and a full-service lab in Delta, both of which have operated at 100 per cent capacity since 2007.
"This is an exciting time for Delta," said foundation executive director Veronica Carroll. "We were built by the community for the community through a grassroots movement and we hope to continue this tradition. Please support us when you see us in your neighbourhood."
The door-to-door campaign will be active throughout August and September, with a goal to sign up 300 Helping Hearts Club monthly donors.
