Sudbury Credit Union Donates $250,000 to the Northern Cancer Foundation for MRI Campaign
SUDBURY, ON – The Northern Cancer Foundation (NCF) and Sudbury Credit Union are proud to announce a $250,000 donation supporting the Unlock the Potential MRI Campaign.
Health Sciences North is the only academic hospital of its size that operates on only one MRI. Because of that, the average patient waits more than 84 days for a scan when the provincial average is 24 days. Our single-MRI system is in operation 24 hours/day and 7 days/week meaning that patients are not only travelling from surrounding communities at all hours of the day, but if there is unexpected maintenance, their appointment may be cancelled or rescheduled. Unlock the Potential is a joint fundraising campaign of the Northern Cancer Foundation, Health Sciences North Foundation and NEO Kids Foundation with the goal of raising $7 million to upgrade our existing MRI unit and purchase a new 3 Tesla MRI. Unlock the Potential is aimed a providing fair and equitable MRI access to patients in northeastern Ontario.
“As a 100% local financial institution, Sudbury Credit Union prides itself on supporting our community. This $250,000 donation is a continuation of that ongoing support, and of our vision to be committed to the well-being of our employees, our members and our community. We are proud to support the Unlock the Potential MRI Campaign because we know how important it is to improving healthcare in our community” says Mimi Regimbal, CEO of Sudbury Credit Union.
Sudbury Credit Union has been a partner and friend of the Northern Cancer Foundation for nearly 30 years. This latest donation further cements their commitment to cancer patients as well as healthcare in general in northeastern Ontario.
“Sudbury Credit Union is one of the earliest Northern Cancer Foundation donors. This generous gift speaks volumes about their support of local causes, as well as being healthcare advocates for northeastern Ontario,” says Anthony Keating, President and CDO of Foundations and Volunteer Groups at HSN, “This donation is going to go a long way to giving cancer patients in northeastern Ontario fair access to MRI scans, which play an important role in diagnosing tumours and helping healthcare experts choose the best treatment options for the best cancer outcomes.”
With the Sudbury Credit Union’s donation we are much closer to bringing the fundraising for this project into its final stages.
