A Legacy Worth Building
Those who came before us built a hospital that has stood through storms, seasons, and time—anchored by compassion, community, and care. Now, it’s our turn to carry that legacy forward.
With the Building Our Future Campaign, we are meeting the urgent challenges of today while preparing for the needs of tomorrow. Together, we will transform MDI Hospital to deliver care that is more modern, accessible, and resilient for everyone who calls this Island home. This is our moment. What we build today will shape the health and wellbeing of this Island for generations to come.
Together, we can create a legacy that lasts.
