Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre received a significant donation this week that will help reduce surgical waitlists and expand access to surgical care for patients across Manitoba.
The HSC Foundation today announced $200,000 in combined support for its Operation Excellence campaign, thanks to generous donations from CGI and Manitoba business leader Chuck Loewen.
“We are deeply grateful to CGI and Mr. Loewen for their generous support,” said Jonathon Lyon, President and CEO of the HSC Foundation. “This contribution will help accelerate meaningful improvements in surgical care and bring us closer to eliminating surgical waitlists for Manitobans.”
CGI, one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, contributed $100,000, while Loewen matched that.
“Giving back to Manitoba has always been important to me,” said Chuck Loewen. “I’m pleased to support the HSC Foundation’s efforts to improve health care outcomes for patients across the province.”
CGI’s Senior Vice-President, Dean Bosch, said the donation reflects the company’s commitment to the health and well-being of the communities where its employees live and work.
“We’re proud to support initiatives that improve access to care for Manitobans,” said Bosch.
Operation Excellence is the HSC Foundation’s $108 million initiative to enhance diagnostic and surgical capacity at Health Sciences Centre, to provide faster, more efficient care for patients across the province.
