The family of the Keint-he Winery and Vineyards continues to celebrate the culture and spirit of Prince Edward County with a $10,000 donation to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation.

The winery’s name, Keint-he, is an historical reference to the original inhabitants of the region, and is meant to be a tribute to the County’s heritage and a reflection of the family’s connection to the land and community.

“It’s not just where we live, it’s our community,” said Bryan Rogers, co-owner of Keint-he. “We support the celebration of Prince Edward County’s whole story, past, present and future. We live in a place where people show up and help each other. That’s a community worth celebrating and supporting. The new hospital will provide medical care for our families, friends and neighbours, and that’s important to all of us. There’s a long list of people and businesses in Prince Edward County that are contributing to the community, and we’re thrilled to be part of that list.”

The Rogers family’s gift will go toward enhancing patient care through access to advanced medical equipment and technology.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Rogers family and Keint-he Winery for their generous gift and continued community leadership,” said Shannon Coull, executive director of the PECMH Foundation. “Their support ensures our Care Champions have the tools and technology they need to deliver the best possible care and strengthens our ability to build a stronger future for health care close to home.”

The PECMH Foundation remains committed to raising funds for essential equipment that enables care for patients and families in Prince Edward County, critical items that are not funded by the government.
