Bruce Power is committing $1.45 million over the next five years to ten local hospital foundations.
$250,000 apiece is being allocated to the Bruce Peninsula Health Services Foundation, the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation, and the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation.
The company is also contributing $100,000 apiece to the hospital foundations in Clinton, Wingham, Goderich, Walkerton, Hanover, Chesley and Meaford.
This commitment will support the efforts of the foundations to provide the latest equipment and services while recognizing the important work and services provided by local hospitals to local residents and visitors.
Bruce Power announced last summer that it will focus $2 million of its Corporate Social Responsibility budget between 2019 and 2023 on health care, mental health and education initiatives.
"Among the most important issues for families in the community are the quality of health care and education, so we decided in 2018 to focus a significant portion of our Community Investment and Sponsorship budget on those areas to help local organizations continue to provide the best care for people," said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s president and CEO. "Today’s announcement is the start of our commitment to assist local communities in making sure they offer high-quality health care."
