The Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance committed $50,000 to help purchase a new MRI machine for Erie Shores HealthCare.
The charity committed to a 5-year pledge of $10,000 a year.
“Our goal in making this commitment with Erie Shores Health Foundation is ultimately to relieve pressure and instill peace of mind for families when a loved one needs care,” said Kim Lewis, president of Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance. “We know that Erie Shores Health Foundation and Erie Shores HealthCare are committed to doing this.”
In November of 2022, Erie Shores HealthCare received provincial funding for the operations of the machine. At that time, the hospital estimated the mahine would cost $3-million to purchase.
“We are grateful that our community is recognizing and responding to the need of having MRI within the boarders of Essex County,” said Jeff Lewis, Chair of the ESHF Board of Directors. “It is exciting to align missions with Neighbourhood Charitable Alliance to bring this life-changing technology home.”
