The 16th annual Gift from the Heart Radiothon raised $182,342.79 on February 13, 2026, to help the South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, buy new medical equipment. The funds will be used to purchase specialized breast imaging technology, which will help local patients get the care they need without traveling far from home.
According to the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore, the new Breast MRI technology is designed to improve screening and help doctors find cancer earlier. This equipment is a key part of the hospital’s plan to offer better diagnostic services to people living across the South Shore region.
The fundraising event was hosted with the help of local radio stations CKBW and Country 100.7. The money raised will ensure that advanced breast health services are available locally, providing a more reliable option for patients who previously had to travel elsewhere for these specialized scans.
