St. Marys Memorial Hospital Foundation has joined the Health Care Heroes Radiothon this year. The event will now fund-raise for 16 hospitals in Bruce, Grey, Perth, Huron and Wellington counties

The CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon will be fund-raising for 16 hospital foundations as the St. Marys Memorial Hospital Foundation joins the event, slated for Oct. 15, this year.

Last year, 15 hospital foundations in Bruce, Grey, Perth, Huron and Wellington counties joined forces to raise just over $812,000 for projects supporting small town hospitals in the region.

More than $6.2-million has been raised for local hospitals through the radiothon over the past nine years.
