Trillium ROOTS Council Grants $10,000 to Wingham Hospital

by Bob Montgomery

The Trillium ROOTS Council, the charitable branch of Trillium Mutual Insurance, has donated $10,000 to the Wingham and District Hospital Foundation to benefit the Caring Together campaign for a new CT Scanner. 

Trillium Mutual has a strong legacy of supporting the communities where their policyholders and staff live and work. They are particularly dedicated to supporting healthcare initiatives because not having access to these services would be detrimental to the well-being and sustainability of rural communities. 

Trillium President & CEO Tracy MacDonald says, “ROOTS stands for Recognizing Our Opportunity To Support and contributing to a CT Scanner that will provide important care to so many people is certainly a wonderful way for us to give back to our community”.  

The Wingham & District Hospital Foundation is grateful to the Trillium ROOTS Council for their generous support. This donation will help fund a new CT Scanner for the hospital which will make emergency care faster and safer for local patients. The Caring Together campaign to support the CT Scanner is nearing it’s funding target. Anyone interested in making a contribution or learning more can visit ww.wdhfoundation.ca/ct-campaign
