On Oct. 6, Saint Germain Bakery at Aberdeen Centre raised more than $12,000 towards Richmond Hospital Foundation for the Emergency Department.
"Richmond Hospital's Emergency Department is an important place the community relies on for urgent health care needs," shares Mickey Zhao, chief executive officer, Saint Germain Bakery. "A well-resourced department is crucial for helping patients access the care they need quickly and efficiently. By working together, we are able to make a meaningful contribution towards the hospital and our community. We look forward to more opportunities to give back and benefit more people in the future."
The award-winning Saint Germain Bakery was founded in Richmond in 1986, and now has locations throughout the Greater Vancouver area and Ontario. Over the years, the bakery has supported Richmond Hospital Foundation by donating baked goods for events and most recently, hosting a charity sale where all proceeds from the day were donated.
Richmond Hospital's Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and sees between 150 to 200 patients a day. An essential resource for urgent medical care, the department provides immediate attention to a diverse range of health issues, from severe injuries to sudden illnesses. Its round-the-clock availability in the community ensures that individuals can access life-saving services whenever they need it.
"We wish to thank Saint Germain Bakery for their generous donation," shares Spencer Gall, chief philanthropy officer for Richmond Hospital Foundation. "The Emergency Department is a place where many turn to when seeking urgent health care for physical and mental ailments. Thanks to Saint Germain Bakery's contribution, as well as everyone who participated in the charity sale, their support and generosity will help improve care and efficiency in the Emergency Department, allowing health care teams to provide the best possible outcomes for patients."
