The Matthews Memorial Hospital Association (MMHA) board in Richard’s Landing Ontario would like to take this opportunity to thank and recognize this year’s generous supporters and sponsors of our annual MMHA Golf Charity Classic event, which is supported by both our many repeat wonderful Golf teams, and our generous sponsors. This year, we have also been fortunate to receive a sizeable charitable donation from a new sponsor: the IDA Island Pharmacy presented a cheque for $25,000 by their business partner Joe Greco.
The MMHA Board’s mandate includes recruitment of doctors to the Hospital in Richard’s Landing, and the management of the Bridgelink Medical Clinic facilities. Our annual Golf Charity Classic event is our primary source of funding, and is supported by many wonderful repeat golf teams.
Matthews Memorial Hospital Association would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous donations. All Proceeds go toward physician recruitment and retention, as well as maintenance and upgrades to the Bridgelink Medical Center building, which houses the Clinic and the Island Pharmacy.

At the conclusion of the “Great War”, the Canadian Red Cross Society was left with surplus money on hand, and conceived the idea of using it to establish “Outpost Hospitals” in places where they were much needed, and which have proved a great boom. The communities thus served, would have had little chance of hospitalization otherwise.
The late Miss L. Grenville, Public Health Nurse for northern Ontario for fifteen years, appealed to the Red Cross Society to especially consider the great need of St. Joseph island, pointing out its isolation, particularly in spring and fall.
