July 23, 2025 – Owen Sound, ON – The Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation (BPHF) is delighted to announce and express profound gratitude for the generous donation from Tobermory summer residents, Carl Churchill and his family. Their remarkable contribution of $117,000 has fully funded the purchase of a new cEEG, or continuous electroencephalography. This crucial equipment will enhance patient care by serving both residents and visitors of Grey Bruce the Brightshores Health System Owen Sound Hospital.

The Churchill’s donation will have a lasting impact on the lives and health of communities across Grey-Bruce.”
