'It's a beautiful thing', when Khalil Khamis and the Harvey's team take over at Guelph General Hospital. This team is like a well oiled machine at the BBQ and their talent at the grill is exceeded only by their incredible generosity. Thank you to all who came out to support this annual tradition. You truly are helping transform healthcare at GGH.

This is where it all started! Over a decade ago my family started an annual Harvey's BBQ out front of the Guelph General Hospital to support our community’s healthcare through the The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital. Naturally, through this event, I got to know the amazing folks at the foundation well. This turned into me applying for a board position. No idea what to expect as it was it was my first non-profit board role, talk about scary. But I knew I loved this group of people and their mission of transforming healthcare through giving. Something always just feels so great about contributing to the community we live in. Over a decade later I am so proud to be tbe Chair of the Board of this incredible organization…who knew the fear would turn into a leadership role! And the tradition of our annual BBQ continues with 100% of the sales going to The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital. Come by, make your burger your way, and support healthcare in our city! #itsabeautifulthing #giving #healthcare #community

It was a pleasure to host the Honourable Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health at Guelph General Hospital today. We had a wonderful tour of our facility where we shared what makes our hospital great as well as some of our existing challenges and solutions we have in store for the future. The tour included our emergency department and triage trailer, where we expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Health for funding our most recent capital improvement project that will see advances to this area of service.
