The Sauble Medical Clinic has donated $1 Million to Grey Bruce Health Services Foundations.
The not-for-profit Sauble Area Medical Clinic Incorporated group recently sold its building to the Town of South Bruce Peninsula and is dissolving its organization.
As a result, Grey Bruce Health Services (GBHS) Foundations were selected to receive $1 million from the proceeds of the sale.
Sauble Area Medical Clinic Incorporated Board of Director Chairman Cecil Groves, says in a statement, “We are very proud to share the gains of the Sauble Area Medical Clinic with the GBHS Foundations while at the same time, putting the monies back into the community that helped fund our clinic 20 years ago.”
A release says the donation will be divided between three GBHS Foundations that support hospitals serving patients in and around the Sauble area.
The Bruce Peninsula Hospital Foundation will receive $400,000 for an x-ray machine at the Wiarton Hospital. The Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation will receive $350,000 for the purchase of a new C-Arm used in the OR for diagnostic imaging and an ultrasound machine. The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation will receive $250,000 towards its CT scanner campaign for the hospital in Southampton.
GBHS President and CEO Gary Sims says, “It’s wonderful to see the healthcare community supporting each other and working together to keep services in the area,” adding, “We are grateful to the Board of the Clinic and will put these funds back into the community.”
