$5,000 gift from RBC puts Foundation fundraising at $500,000

CHEERS! from the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation to the RBC Foundation for a $5,000 donation toward the digital mammography campaign. The purchase of this equipment will ensure that breast screening services can remain in Picton and that local residents have access to state-of-the-art tests close-to-home. This type of community support is vital as the government does not provide funds to purchase medical equipment. It has always been the responsibility of the community, through the Foundation’s fundraising efforts, to fund capital medical equipment needs. Since the campaign launch in October, County residents have enthusiastically risen to the challenge of raising about $500,00 for the new equipment with a goal of $750,000 in sight. Pictured are Anna Marie Ferguson, executive director of the PECMH Foundation, Lisa Thompson, vice-president and portfolio manager of RBC Dominion Securities and Larry Matheson, president of the PECMH Foundation.
