Local Green Cleaning service Fabricare Cleaning Center is showing its support in the communities it operates in by donating to both Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare hospitals. Their generous $100,000 donation will be divided equally between the South Muskoka Hospital Foundation and Huntsville Hospital Foundation.
Fabricare President Clark McDaniel said, “We wish to donate because of the outstanding service we receive when we require the services of Huntsville and Bracebridge hospitals. A recent occasion where a family member was critically injured in a tree felling accident the Huntsville team from 911 dispatch to the hospital admittance team was second to none which was instrumental in Taylor’s life being saved. We can’t thank you enough!”
“Our donors pay for virtually every piece of equipment in our hospitals,” said Huntsville Hospital Foundation Executive Director Katherine Craine. Funds will support the significant needs at each respective hospital totalling over $4 million in new or replacement equipment and renovations. While hospitals receive funding from the Ministry of Health for operating expenses, they do not receive funds for equipment.
“Donations from our community members and local businesses are the reason we are able to continue offering high quality health care,” said South Muskoka Hospital Foundation Executive Director Leah Walker. The Fabricare team hope their support will encourage other local business to give to their hospitals.
