Tracadie, May 24, 2016 – The Fondation Les Amis de l’Hôpital de Tracadie Inc. today presented Vitalité Health Network with a cheque for $80,000 as part of the 2016 Annual Campaign to acquire various pieces of equipment for the Tracadie Hospital. This money was raised from donors to the Annual Campaign and through the public’s support of Foundation special events such as the Northern Star, the Roses Radiothon, etc.
This year’s new acquisitions will strengthen seven areas of the Tracadie Hospital (Emergency, Dialysis, nursing units, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, and Electrodiagnostics). In addition, various regional projects will be supported.
The Chair of the Annual Campaign of the Fondation Les Amis de l’Hôpital de Tracadie Inc., André Morais, expressed his contentment with the result. “This year’s campaign objective was set at $80,000, and this morning, we are announcing a final result of $95,440, which we present to you! Donating this amount is a moment of celebration and pride for us all since it proves that, together, we have contributed to our community’s health!”
For her part, Monique Savoie, Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Fondation Les Amis de l’Hôpital de Tracadie Inc. expressed how appreciative the Foundation was. “We are very grateful to our generous volunteers and donors who support us in fulfilling our mission, and we are very enthusiastic about the impact that these new additions will have on the health care delivered by the Tracadie Hospital.”
The purpose of this official unveiling, held with a number of guests and dignitaries in attendance, was to publicize the projects that will be undertaken thanks to the 2016 Annual Campaign, to thank the members of our various committees, to highlight the contributions made by donors, and to announce the final result of the Annual Campaign.
In short, the overall objective for the Annual Campaign was set at $80,000, and our final result announced at the unveiling was $95, 440.
