A longtime donor to the Richmond Hospital Foundation has stepped forward yet again.

The Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation of Canada has donated $40,000 to Richmond Hospital Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund.

Supporting healthcare in the community for the last 14 years, the foundation appreciated the urgent need due to the pandemic. The member funds will be used to help purchase two vital signs monitors.

Earlier this year, members also made a $28,000 donation to fund the hospital’s purchase of an external fixation for the orthopedic team. To date, the foundation has contributed nearly $500,000 in support of local healthcare in Richmond.

Richmond Hospital Foundation CEO Natalie Meixner said the donation will allow healthcare teams to provide the “very best in care.” She went on to say the philanthropic leadership is “an inspiration for our community and we extend our deep gratitude to everyone involved.”
