RBC provides local funds for nurse training to hospitals in Palmerston, Fergus

Building on an ongoing commitment to support health care and nurses, RBC announced $10,000 donations to two Wellington County hospitals on May 16.

A cheque was presented to the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation in the afternoon and a cheque was also presented at Groves Memorial Hospital earlier in the day. The two hospitals are among seven in the region to receive $10,000 in funding from RBC through the training initiative.

The donation will fund training programs and educational opportunities that will allow nurses to “provide leading-edge care to the communities surrounding the hospitals.”

The May 16 presentations were part of a larger $70,000 commitment to health care in local communities in 2014.
