Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life saw a need and generously supported the Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings campaign with a donation of $150,000, according to a New Beginnings press release.
In recognition of their support, the fitness room in the new Saskatchewan Hospital will be called the Canada Life Fitness Room.
Saskatchewan Hospital is the only psychiatric rehabilitation treatment facility in the province, and the new hospital reflects the change and future of mental health care, the release states.
The New Beginnings campaign is raising $8 million for needed medical equipment and furnishings for the new Saskatchewan Hospital under construction in North Battleford and nearing completion.
“The new facility is a place that can help patients reclaim their independence and help them reintegrate into the community,” said Debbie Down, director, Community Relations, Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life.
“We’re proud to support this campaign and the hospital as they build a facility that will help ensure individuals suffering from a mental illness will get the help they need, when they need it.”
“We’re getting very close to reaching our campaign goal of $8 million,” said Corinne Bernier Delainey, New Beginnings fundraising lead.
“With the support of Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life we are now only $250,000 away from our target. The patients and staff are getting very excited as the new hospital prepares to welcome them all home in November.”
