RBC announces $10,000 donation to support area health care

RBC has announced a $10,000 donation to North Well­ington Health Care Cor­por­ation.

The donation will fund training programs and edu­ca­tional opportunities that will allow nurses to provide leading edge health care to the com­munity.

RBC’s donation is part of a $60,000 commitment to pro­grams that support the pro­fessional development of nur­ses in Grey, Bruce, Wellington and Dufferin Counties.

RBC will also be launching a Nursing Excellence awards program during National Nurse’s Week which runs May 10 to May 14. The community will be invited into their local RBC branch to read the stories of six exceptional nurses and vote for the nurse they feel is most deserving of a bursary for professional development.

The winners will use the bursary for training programs and continuing education to further develop their skills and provide the most advanced health care services to the com­munity.

“Continuing education pro­grams are a vital component in the ongoing training and pro­fes­sional development of nurs­es,” said Tanya Murtagh, professional practice manager of North Wellington Health Care Corporation. “The RBC Nursing Excellence award will allow nurses to benefit from these programs and ensure that our loved ones receive the best possible care.”

Bruce Gehlen, regional vice-president for central Ontario RBC, said, “Our health­care sys­tem is built upon the strength of our nurses.

“This pro­gram is RBC’s way of thanking nurses for their trem­endous work in keeping our communities healthy.”
