The Chinese community in the Windsor-area has committed to making a major donation to the Fancsy Family Hospital.
The Essex County Chinese Canadian Association (ECCCA) and the Chinese Association of Greater Windsor (CAGW) have pledged to raise $500,000 over the next five years.
The money will go toward purchasing equipment for the new acute-care facility.
"This commitment reflects our shared values of care, education, and giving back, and our collective effort to help build a healthier future for generations to come," said ECCCA President Stephen Tsui. "The Chinese community of Windsor and Essex is honoured to support this important initiative and to stand alongside our community and Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation in creating a lasting legacy."
In recognition of the donation, a multi-purpose education room will be dedicated to the Chinese community of Windsor and Essex.
"We are deeply moved by the leadership of the local Chinese community. Their early support highlights the power of collective philanthropy in ensuring Windsor-Essex has access to a leading healthcare facility equipped to meet our needs,” said Cristina Naccarato, Executive Director of Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation. "On behalf of the Foundation and our Board of Directors, I thank each and every member of the Chinese community for your vision and for choosing to champion the future of healthcare for our entire region."
