The William Osler Health System Foundation has received a $500,000 donation from TD Bank Group.
TD’s gift will support redevelopment needs at Osler’s three hospitals: the construction of the new Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness, opening early next year; the renovation and expansion of Etobicoke General Hospital; and equipment and technology renewal at Brampton Civic Hospital.
“TD is proud to contribute to Osler Foundation’s campaign, as it will significantly enhance local health care services,” said Faisal Yousuf, district vice-president of the Brampton District of TD Canada Trust and Osler Foundation Board member. “The well-being of our communities is an important focus for us and this gift will help increase access to exceptional health care and strengthen the places where we live and work.”
This donation is part of a proud legacy of giving to Osler Foundation by TD, with past support contributing to medical grants and bursaries for nurses and medical staff, and sponsorship and participation in community engagement and fundraising events.
“This type of ongoing community participation is essential as we embark on a capital campaign to raise $100 million,” said Foundation President and CEO Ken Mayhew. “Philanthropy plays a critical role in ensuring excellence in health care, and TD’s investment will have a direct and profound impact on patient care in our growing communities.”
