About Our Cause
At Launchpad we're dedicated to improving the health care experience in Durham Region and that means raising awareness and funds for our local hospital, Lakeridge Health (Oshawa and Whitby hospitals).
To date, Launchpad has raised over $47,000 for important equipment needs at our hospital including the replacement of a parent chair and cardio-respiratory monitor in the paediatric department.
