Legacy Co-op donates $15,000 to The Health Foundation

The Health Foundation received a generous donation of $15,000 from Legacy Co-op to assist the purchase of new surgical and lab equipment.

Legacy Co-op Board Members Ken Chyz and Debbie Jones recently presented the cheque to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

“Our Board thought this was a great project”, said Ken Chyz, “we know that right now the health system is under a lot of pressure and government funds are going to fight Covid-19. If we want to maintain and enhance the services we have locally, we are all going to have to do our part to make sure that happens.”

“Legacy Co-op invests money back into Yorkton and region every year, we truly see ourselves as community builders and look to support projects that will have an impact in all parts of community life,” said Debbie Jones.

“Our Board felt this is exactly the type of project we should support,” said Chyz. “This new laparoscopic equipment willimprove the services available in our region and make it easier to keep our surgeons. That makes for better health care services locally, and that is important to making our community a better place to live, work and raise a family.”

“Legacy Co-op consistently supports our work to improve healthcare in Yorkton and area, and we are grateful for their help and the work they do in the community,” said Ross Fisher. “We could not undertake the larger initiatives we do without knowing businesses like Legacy Co-op will financially support our work.”
