The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group is donating $500,000 to the Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) Foundation in Lindsay.
The donation will help the hospital accelerate technological advancements, which are not funded by government, that better connect patients to care.
“We believe in investing in the resiliency of our communities and helping to make them stronger, and believe it’s part of our responsibility as a corporate enterprise,” says Commonwell CEO Tim Shauf, who is also campaign chair on the RMH Foundation’s board, in a media release.
“We’re incredibly grateful for this leadership gift from The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group,” says RMH Foundation board chair Ryan O’Neill.
“This generous investment in our local hospital is helping to improve care and grow services. What’s more, The Commonwell gift will emphasize to the Ministry of Health the commitment in our community for the modernization and growth of our hospital.”
“We’re very excited to have the support of The Commonwell as we embark upon the next generation of care at Ross Memorial,” says RMH Foundation CEO Erin Coons. “On behalf of the patients and families who will benefit from The Commonwell’s generous support, we thank their team. Together, we are the Ross.”
The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group was established in 2014 as an amalgamation of Farmers Mutual Insurance Company (Lindsay), Glengarry Mutual Insurance Company, and Lanark Mutual Insurance Company.
