2025 Nature’s Emporium Run for Southlake,

The 2025 Nature’s Emporium Run for Southlake, held on Sunday, April 27, was a resounding success, uniting the Newmarket community in support of Southlake Regional Health Centre. This annual event not only promotes health and wellness but also plays a crucial role in funding essential medical equipment and advanced technology that directly benefits our local hospital.​

A Community United for Health

This year's Run for Southlake saw participation from 1,659 runners, 2000 donors, and 123 teams, collectively raising over $438,000 towards a $500,000 goal.  Donations will continue to be accepted till May 2nd.  These funds are vital, as government funding does not cover most new or replacement medical equipment. The money raised ensures that Southlake's clinicians have access to the tools they need to provide leading-edge care to patients in our community.​

The event exemplifies the spirit of community involvement, with participants of all ages coming together to support a common cause. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the runners, volunteers, and donors highlight the collective commitment to maintaining and enhancing our local healthcare services.​

The Importance of Southlake Regional Health Centre

Southlake Regional Health Centre has been a cornerstone of the Newmarket community for over a century, evolving into a comprehensive healthcare network that serves northern York Region and southern Simcoe County. With over 6,000 staff, medical professionals, volunteers, and students, Southlake provides a wide range of services, including specialized cardiac and cancer care.​

The hospital's commitment to excellence is evident in its continuous investment in top talent, advanced technologies, and innovative procedures. This dedication ensures that residents have access to high-quality care close to home, reducing the need to travel long distances for medical services.

A Legacy of Community Support

The success of the Run for Southlake underscores the community's unwavering support for the hospital. Events like this not only provide necessary funding but also foster a sense of unity and shared purpose among residents. As Southlake continues to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of the community, ongoing support from events like the Run for Southlake will remain essential.​

By participating in or donating to the Run for Southlake, individuals contribute to the hospital's mission of delivering leading-edge care and ensuring that high-quality healthcare remains accessible to all members of the community.​
