A donation of $120,000 from an insurance company has helped wrap up Richmond Hospital Foundation's Trio of Life campaign.

The Trio of Life campaign aims to replace aging and out-of-date diagnostic equipment at Richmond Hospital's cardiology, pulmonary and neurology specialties. Wong's Insurance held a fundraising gala at Richmond's Continental Restaurant back in August to raise funds for the campaign.

Wong's Insurance, which has locations in Richmond and Vancouver, is a long-time supporter of the Richmond Hospital Foundation.

“Having state-of-the-art diagnostic tools is essential to providing excellent health care,” said CEO John Wong.

“Richmond Hospital is an important part of our community and we’re happy to lend our support to improve care for local residents.”

The Trio of Life campaign raised a total of $580,000, including $120,000 from Wong's Insurance.

“Thanks to Wong’s Insurance and strong community support, we have now successfully completed the Trio of Life Campaign,” said Spencer Gall, campaign director at Richmond Hospital Foundation.

“New diagnostic equipment will provide more reliable and timely information about a patient’s health so the Richmond health care team can improve overall care.”
