Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation and Shoppers Drug Mart raise $2614 for local women’s health initiatives through the Growing Women’s Health Campaign Carleton Place Ontario, December 2017 – Earlier this fall, the community joined together with local Shoppers Drug Mart and its store team for one of the most successful fundraising efforts to support women’s health initiatives here in Carleton Place. Donations to the SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. 2017 Growing Women’s Health campaign supported the CPDMH Foundation in purchasing needed patient care equipment at the hospital. The 16th annual campaign is national in scope, yet locally based, with patients, customers and employees donating directly to charitable organizations in their community to ensure that resources and programming are available to meet the needs of women across the country. This year, the funds raised through the Women’s Health campaign were designated towards the needed Cardiac Monitor and Telemetry Upgrade at the hospital. This estimated $305,000 system will be purchased early in the New Year for which the CPDMH Foundation have been actively raising funds to pay for over the past two years. “We see many patients throughout the year who require the use of the cardiac monitor… More specifically, and in last year alone, over 247 women came into the Emergency Department or were admitted as patients were diagnosed with chest pain and angina” stated Robyn Arseneau, Executive Director, at the CPDMH Foundation. “We’re thrilled with the success of the 2017 Growing Women’s Health campaign. Each year, our customers and staff demonstrate their generosity and their commitment to supporting women in our community, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s contribution,” said Myron Li. “Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation plays an important role in our community and the proceeds from this year’s campaign will go a long way to helping them further that work.” The SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Growing Women’s Health campaign is a four-week program held across Canada each Fall.
