Erie Shores Health Foundation invests over a million dollars in local health care

In a special celebration of their 30th year as a charity, the Erie Shores Health Foundation (ESHF) presented two cheques totaling over $1 million dollars to two benefactors who provide health care services in Essex County.

“Words cannot begin to express how proud and grateful I am for the immense support of our

community,” said ESHF CEO Christine Colautti. “Your love and generosity has been the guiding light of the Foundation and has enabled us to provide this support for both Erie Shores HealthCare and The Hospice, Erie Shores Campus.”
