We have the opportunity to do something really special here with this new hospital Dr. Peter and Susan McPhedran have been Centre Wellington residents for over thirty years. Susan taught at Centre Wellington District High School for many years. Peter was a founding partner of Family Practice Associates of Elora and has been on the medical staff at Groves Memorial Community Hospital since 1984. Two of their three children were born at Groves Hospital. “Groves is a unique rural hospital. The care here is absolutely excellent. The staff are all warm, friendly, caring people,” said Dr. Peter McPhedran. “Having a new hospital is absolutely critical for our community. We need a hospital facility that is modern and can accommodate new technology if we are going to continue to provide excellent patient care and attract new and world class physicians.” Recognizing the need for a new hospital in Centre Wellington, Dr. McPhedran decided to join the Groves Hospital Foundation

Board of Directors over two years ago. “Being on the Foundation board made me realize the importance but also the challenges of raising $20 million,” said Dr. McPhedran. “Everyone needs to do their part if we are going to meet this goal within the community – that is why Susan and I donated.” Recently Susan and Dr. Peter McPhedran made their generous gift of $100,000 towards the New Groves Hospital Campaign. The spirit of philanthropy is the commitment to help one another; to voluntarily give where there is no obligation to do so. Together we can make a difference. The McPhedrans believe, “We are really fortunate to have such an excellent health care facility in our community and we have the opportunity to do something really special here with this new hospital.”
