Cornerstone Credit Union has donated $10,000 to help put new lab equipment in The Yorkton Regional Hospital
Friday Doug Jones, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union, presented the donation to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.
“Community is part of our values as a Credit Union,” Jones told Yorkton This Week. “And, health care is a big part of what makes a community.”
Jones said they understand it is important to have current equipment in the lab of the regional hospital, as the lab is often the first place a doctor sends someone for tests if something doesn’t seem right, and more information is needed.
“Having good equipment in the lab makes sure our medical professionals have the right equipment to be able to do the best job they can for their patients,” said Jones in a release.
“While we support the work of The Health Foundation, Cornerstone also supports and works with many other community groups in our region. We think it is important to support organizations that help make our communities more vibrant and better places to live and raise a family,” said Lori Walsh, Vice President of Marketing & Communications in the release.
“We are very grateful for this generous donation, and to have the continuing support of Cornerstone Credit Union for our work.
“This donation comes at a terrific time as we are trying to finish this fundraising campaign by the end of the year and this generous donation is a big jump toward our goal,” said Fisher.
