Conceptual donation

Garth Tillman and Shelly Tranberg, of Prairie Paint Centre presented a cheque for $1,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation, to help fund the conceptual plan for a new regional hospital. "Carmen Salkeld and I are partners in Prairie Paint Centre, and both of us think that it is a really good idea to be planning for a new regional hospital," said Garth Tillman. "It is great to see all of the businesses that are getting behind this planning. The only way these big projects succeed is if the community is really in support, and from what I hear and when I talk to people it really seems people understand we need a new hospital." "You can see the growth in the area; lots of new businesses have started and there are a lot of new people. It looks like that growth is only going to continue so it just makes sense to be planning for the future," continued Mr. Tillman. "That's why we are donating; we want to show our support and help move this planning process forward." "It is great to see the support this project is receiving and to see people understand that a new regional hospital will tremendously benefit our local healthcare. The business community has been very supportive of the planning process for a new hospital. Proper planning will ensure we build a facility that can grow with this region, and provide the services we need for the next 50 years," said Mr. Fisher.
