Legacy Co-op donates $7,000 for pediatric services

YORKTON - Legacy Co-op Board member Ken Chyz and General Manager Bruce Thurston recently presented a cheque for $7,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation, for equipment needed in the new pediatric clinic.

“We had approached Yorkton Co-op about helping us purchase equipment to set up a new pediatric clinic months ago. Legacy Co-op made a commitment back then and the new clinic has been up and operating for a while now. We are only able to help bring new services like this into the community because of the strong financial support we receive from businesses like Legacy Co-op,” said Fisher.

“When Mr. Fisher approached us about purchasing equipment for a new pediatric clinic that was being established our board was immediately in favour. This was a service we had lost from the community and now we have three pediatricians working in Yorkton. Having doctors who can provide services like this in the community is important and we are happy to partner with The Health Foundation to enhance local healthcare,” said Chyz.
