The Richmond Hospital Foundation is one step closer to getting much-needed new diagnostic equipment after receiving a $15,000 donation from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 291.
“Our members pitched in to support the Trio of Life Campaign because they recognize that they can make a positive impact for many people in the community,” said Bill Costain, spokesperson of Richmond-based Branch 291.
“Supporting this campaign will help physicians diagnose patients with updated and reliable equipment while providing patients with the best care in a timely manner.”
The foundation launched the Trio of Life Campaign to raise $580,000 to replace equipment for the cardiology, pulmonary, and neurology specialties that focus on the heart, lungs, and nervous system.
“The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 291, has donated to Richmond Hospital Foundation for more than 30 years, and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support,” said Spencer Gall, campaign director at Richmond Hospital Foundation.
“Community contributions such as this one from the Royal Canadian Legion play a significant role in helping us improve the speed and quality of care in Richmond.”
