DRDH Says Goodbye to James Thompson

This spring we all said a heartfelt goodbye to James Thompson as he wrapped up his time with DRDH and the Deep River & District Health Foundation. 

Over the past three years, James has made an incredible impact - revitalizing our Foundation, strengthening support for local healthcare, and leading the Closer to Home Campaign, which has raised over $2 million and counting for our new long-term care home and health campus.

Through his vision, dedication, collaborative spirit and talent for building meaningful relationships, James has helped shape the future of care in our region. His leadership has left the Foundation stronger, more vibrant, and well-positioned for continued success.

While we’re sad to see him go, we’re deeply grateful for all he’s accomplished and excited to see what he’ll take on next. Please join us in thanking James and wishing him and his family all the best in the journey ahead.
