PEMBROKE — Regional healthcare scored a ringer with the Eganville Horseshoe League donation of $1,000 to help to bring MRI home to Renfrew County.
Presenting the cheque was organization president Weldon Sell.
“Our membership knows the importance of this diagnostic tool and how many people it will help,” Mr. Sell said. “Drawing our funds together from our 30 members and 50/50 draws, we wanted this donation to support the region, and our hospital serves over 100,000 people, so it was an easy decision to make.”
Receiving the donation was Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation Executive Director, Nancy Warren.
“As we approach our goal, each and every donation moves us that much closer,” she said. “With less than $250,000 remaining in the MRI campaign, our community is closing in on the goal of $4,500,000 to purchase and install an MRI. Thank you to the Eganville Horseshoe Club for their generous gift today.”
The Eganville Horseshoe Club meets every Wednesday from now through to the end of August.
If you and your family wish to help bring the MRI home to Renfrew County in support of comprehensive health care, closer to home, or have a fundraising idea, contact the Foundation Office (613) 732-2811 ext. 7408 or email [email protected].
