Gift Announcements
A Power-ful Gift
Hematologist Dr. Peter Powers has worked at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton for over 31 years. By strange coincidence, it was on the 31st day of January that he and his wife Eugenia announced “A Powerful Gift” to St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation -- $100,000 to support the hospital’s upcoming capital campaign.
Eugenia, Peter and John Powers
When asked about the inspiration for their gift, Peter and Eugenia offered a rationale founded in experience. “The St. Joseph’s we have come to know is constantly changing, growing and adapting. They say that if you stop moving forward, you might soon find that you’re moving backwards. We don’t believe that would ever happen here at St. Joseph’s…perhaps that’s why with this gift, we’re hoping to ensure that the legacy of innovation that has defined this hospital for so many years lives on.”
In recognition of their kind gift, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation will name a waiting room in the hospital’s recently redeveloped Diagnostic Imaging area after Peter and Eugenia’s parents who were sources of immense support and guidance throughout Peter and Eugenia’s lives. The Maleschok-Powers Ultrasound Waiting Room is scheduled to open in the fall of 2008.
