Health donation

Churchbridge Credit Union recently donated $1,000 to help prepare for a new regional hospital

"Our board feels this is a necessary project, that will benefit our region for years," said Perry Wishlow, General Manager of Churchbridge Credit Union.

"We know that our members and residents of the communities where we have offices use the Regional Health Centre. We know our communities will benefit from a new hospital, so it makes a lot of sense for us to support a new regional facility," he continued.

"As well, Credit Unions give back to the community on a regular basis; it is part of who we are and how we do business. So this kind of a project is a natural fit for us because healthcare affects everyone, and good healthcare facilities are one of the most important building blocks for any community," he continued.

"This is a wonderful donation and it comes at a great time," said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. "We have had a good response from the business community since we started raising funds and developing commitments to support a new regional hospital."
