Let’s make history together with this inaugural women-led philanthropic initiative at MSH.

We are launching WITH MSH (Women Inspired To Help MSH) to bring together a group of visionary women philanthropists and leaders who share a common goal to support and enable new health care initiatives for our community.

WITH MSH is a dedicated initiative to raise funds and invest in important programs and services at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH).

About

WITH MSH is a dedicated, year-long fundraising initiative launching in 2025. It aims to raise over $350,000 for MSH in honour of its 35th anniversary.

Launching with a powerful gathering event on June 3 at the Hilton Markham Suites, members have an opportunity to network and demonstrate their commitment to making a difference in health care.  

Then, at the end of the year, WITH MSH members get a chance to vote on the compelling funding need that receives the collective donations.

“WITH MSH is an opportunity for us  to bring women together through a shared vision and commitment, and with our collective philanthropy make a difference to the future of health care at Markham Stouffville Hospital. I and my family have used many services at MSH over the past 35 years, so I’m thrilled to be part of the inaugural WITH MSH community and excited about the impact we will make for the future.”
