Over the past century, MCH has been committed to providing compassionate care and making a difference in the lives of those in need.
The Community Impact of MCH
MCH has been a pillar of support for our community, with a long-standing commitment to caring for the people of Peterborough and its surrounding areas. Through our various community benefit initiatives, MCH has positively impacted the lives of countless individuals and families.
Financial Assistance Program
One of the key initiatives undertaken by MCH is our Financial Assistance Program. In 2022 alone, MCH contributed $485,000 towards this program, providing a safety net for those facing financial hardships. This program ensures that individuals in need have access to the healthcare services they require, regardless of their financial situation.
Community Programs
MCH understands the importance of community engagement and has invested $268,000 in various community programs. These programs aim to promote health and well-being, educate the community about important healthcare topics, and foster a sense of togetherness. By organizing events, workshops, and support groups, MCH actively engages with the community and addresses their specific healthcare needs.
Subsidized Health Services
Access to affordable healthcare services is crucial, and MCH recognizes this need. Through our subsidized health services, MCH has contributed $8,279,000 towards ensuring that essential healthcare services are accessible to everyone. This includes providing affordable treatments, medications, and specialized care for those who may not have the means to afford them otherwise.
Public Programs
MCH has been actively involved in public health initiatives, contributing $7,499,000 towards various programs aimed at improving the overall health of the community. These programs focus on preventive care, health education, and disease management, empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

The Financial Assistance Program has been a lifeline for many individuals and families facing financial hardships. Through your support, $485,000 was provided to those in need in 2022. This assistance has allowed individuals to receive the necessary medical care and treatments without the burden of financial stress.
MCH has witnessed the joy of new beginnings with the birth of 258 babies in 2022. Each birth is a testament to the nurturing environment provided by MCH’s dedicated healthcare professionals. Your contributions have helped create a safe and supportive space for families to welcome their little ones into the world.
In times of crisis, MCH’s Emergency Department is there for our community. In 2022, 13,596 individuals received care and support from the dedicated healthcare professionals at MCH. Your generosity has ensured that critical care is available to those who need it most, providing a beacon of hope during challenging times.
A Story of Resilience and Hope
One beneficiary of MCH’s Community Benefit Program is Francis Savoie, a single father and former oil truck driver. Francis was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc disease at the age of 42, which threatened his ability to work and provide for his family. However, regular infusion treatments at MCH’s Oncology and Infusion Center brought relief.
“The infusion treatments really helped,” says Francis, “but I had trouble affording my co-pays. MCH helped me through their Financial Assistance Program.”
The compassionate staff at MCH fought for Francis, providing him with the financial support he needed to continue his treatments. The kindness and care he received at MCH gave him the support and courage to face the challenges of his medical condition.
This story is a testament to the impact MCH has had on individuals and families in our community. Your contributions, both big and small, have helped shape these stories and create a healthier, more compassionate community for generations to come.
