The West Nipissing General Hospital Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign to replace its aging mammography unit.
Officials say it is an essential piece of equipment – and its become an urgent priority.
Caisse Alliance kicked off the campaign with a $75,000 donation, and is also matching every dollar donated up to a maximum of $25,000.
“Replacing our mammography machine is essential to ensuring continued access to high-quality breast cancer screening in our community. With increasing demand and expanded screening eligibility, this investment will have a direct impact on patient care,” says Dawn Morissette, President and CEO of West Nipissing General Hospital. “We are sincerely grateful to Caisse Alliance for their generosity and commitment to this important initiative. Their support will  help bring advanced imaging technology to West Nipissing, ensuring residents have access to quality care close to  home.”
Marcy Lemieux, Regional Director at Caisse Alliance says their team is also organizing bake sales, dress-down days and fitness challenges to raise funds, and they’re challenging other workplaces to do the same.
