“This Will Survive Me After I Am Gone.” 

Nigel Punton is grateful for the care that his sister received at Milton District Hospital.  “The willingness of the doctors to explain everything to us was impressive.  Also, the nurses in intensive care were compassionate and competent.”  Partly because of this experience, Nigel decided to make a bequest to Milton District Hospital Foundation.  He explains, “It will help ensure that the hospital is able to purchase the latest equipment.  I think that it’s important for people to be able to have their treatment close to home.  This will survive me after I am gone.”  Helen Vatistas, Executive Director of Milton District Hospital Foundation appreciates the contributions that individuals make through bequests.  She says, “Mr. Punton’s gift is important to our hospital because it allows us to purchase the equipment we need to provide high quality healthcare to this community for generations to come.  We are grateful for the support of individuals like Mr. Punton because they are committed to the future of our hospital.” 

If you are interested in making a bequest, please contact Deborah Bauder by email at dbauder@haltonhealthcare.com or by phone at 289-218-0715.
