Owen Sound Regional Hospital Receives Donation From RBC

RBC Royal Bank has announced a $10,000 donation to Grey Bruce Health Services hospitals.

The donation will fund training programs and educational opportunities for nurses. It's part of an ongoing commitment to support healthcare and nurses.

Last year, funding from RBC Royal Bank and other partners enabled 69 nursing staff from across the six hospitals in Grey Bruce Health Services to complete education and training in a number of specialized fields.

Since this initiative began in 2009, RBC has donated $700,000 to further the professional development of nurses in Grey, Bruce, Wellington, Perth and Dufferin Counties.

According to Dan Woods, Regional Vice President of Central Shores RBC, "Supporting our local hospitals is important to our employees, our clients and our communities and we are proud to present this $10,000 cheque to Owen Sound Regional Hospital as part of our larger $80,000 commitment to healthcare in local communities."
