Conexus Credit Union has donated $100,000 to the Saskatchewan Hospital New Beginnings Fundraising Campaign.
Necessary medical equipment and furniture for the new Saskatchewan Hospital will be purchased with this gift.
The new hospital is currently under construction in North Battleford.
The Quality of Life rehabilitation centre in the new facility will be named the Conexus Credit Union Quality of Life Centre in recognition of the donation.
“Conexus has deep roots in our communities and a rich heritage of giving back. We're excited to partner with the Saskatchewan Hospital on this special project that will benefit so many,” said Eric Dillon, CEO.
Quality of Life programming provides opportunities that enable patients to engage in supervised and individual goal-directed activities in a safe and supportive work setting. The rehabilitation programming focusses on life skills training that helps prepare patients to live independently such as cooking and baking, making and selling crafts, serving at in-hospital functions, socializing and participating in shopping and recreational excursions to North Battleford and beyond.
“We are thrilled to have Conexus Credit Union join us in this campaign,” said Corinne Bernier Delainey, New Beginnings Fundraising Lead. “Their $100,000 donation will go a long way in improving the lives of the people who come to Saskatchewan Hospital for care.”
