A $20 Million Transformational Gift

September 29, 2025
We are thrilled to share some incredible news that marks a historic milestone for MAHC and the future of healthcare in Muskoka.
 
The Huntsville Hospital Foundation has announced a record-setting $20 million gift in honour of long-time resident Bob Hutcheson. This extraordinary act of generosity includes both a matching challenge for donations and a scholarship fund to support future healthcare workers.

In recognition of this transformational support, the new Huntsville hospital will proudly be named in honour of Bob Hutcheson.
 
We are deeply grateful to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation for leading this effort and to the many families whose generosity has made this moment possible. Their commitment is a tremendous boost for MAHC and a strong signal of confidence in our vision for two new hospitals in Muskoka.
 
Please join us in celebrating this incredible milestone and in thanking the Huntsville Hospital Foundation for their leadership and dedication. Together, we are one step closer to building a brighter future for healthcare in Muskoka.
