Owners of
Foxton Fuels, Mark Foxton and Lisa Hearnden, have donated $2,000 each to the
Hospital Foundations in Wingham, Walkerton, Listowel and Mt. Forest to help
fund the current medical equipment needs at the Hospital.
Foxton Fuels is making these donations in partnership with Petro Canada’s Live
By The Leaf community investment program. Foxton and Hearnden have been
long-time supporters of local healthcare both as volunteer leaders and generous
donors. Directing these dollars to the hospitals serving the same communities
they serve is a natural fit. Foxton said, “With the importance of healthcare
being so top of mind for everyone these days when the opportunity arose to make
this donation we knew supporting the hospitals was what we wanted to do”.
The
funds will go towards vital medical equipment at each hospital. Listowel
is raising funds for a pharmacy system upgrade, Mt. Forest’s Louise Marshall
Hospital Foundation will put the funds towards lab equipment upgrades, Walkerton’s portion of the donation will
benefit an anesthetic machine and Wingham will put the donation towards a
cautery machine for the OR.
A big thank you is extended
from all the Hospital Foundations to Foxton Fuels for their continued
generosity and support of local healthcare.
