We Care, We Can Awareness Initiative
The We Care, We Can Awareness Initiative invites local businesses, residents, and community groups to raise awareness and support for the once-in-a-generation redevelopment of Bowmanville Hospital. Every effort helps bring a new, purpose-built hospital closer to reality.

“We wanted to do something that brought people together while supporting a cause that truly matters to our members and our neighbours. By supporting Bowmanville Hospital, we’re helping ensure families in our own community have access to the care they need, and that’s a responsibility we’re proud to share.”
- Connor Visser, President, Rotary Club of Courtice
a growing movement
Each year, more local businesses and community members continue to step forward to support the future of Bowmanville Hospital. The initiative started in 2022 with just six local businesses, and by 2023–2024, it had grown to over 20. 2025 was the most successful year yet as the effort expanded to a full year, with 58 third-party fundraisers helping drive continued progress.
Make a Donation
If a third-party event or initiative isn’t the right fit for you, there are still many meaningful ways to support Bowmanville Hospital. You can make a one-time donation or become a member of the Hospital's Heartbeat, our monthly giving program, and help make a lasting impact on care in our community.
