Tuesday, 4 August 2026 08:16

The donation from Robert West is the largest in the foundation's history!

The South Muskoka Hospital Foundation has received the largest donation in its history.

Local resident Robert George West has left an $8 million legacy gift to support healthcare in the region.

Foundation officials say West built one of Canada's leading medical supply companies and wanted Muskoka residents to have access to world-class healthcare.

The donation will help advance the Raise Muskoka campaign, supporting plans for a new hospital in Bracebridge and a second new hospital serving the region.
