We are committed to supporting the ongoing, specialized health education necessary to provide the highest level of care possible in our community. By investing in the continuing education of local health care providers, we are truly investing in the health and well being of our friends and families.
Recently, the Foundation provided $10,000 in funding to benefit educational priorities for Nurses and Personal Support Workers working in our community.
We have also recently established annual nursing scholarships for local students as a way to provide for the future health and well being of our community. Each year, the Foundation will award $1,000 scholarships to qualified applicants to assist them with their post-secondary education.
Applicants must reside in Brant, Haldimand or Norfolk counties and be enrolled in an accredited college or university nursing program. Please note that all completed applications must be received no later than July 10 of each year for consideration towards the upcoming academic year.
As the need arises, the Foundation supports the purchase of equipment and other capital items to assist health care providers in the provision of services to our community. Past purchases have included new foot care equipment and autoclaves, laser equipment for wound management, in home nursing bag equipment such as stehoscopes, field manuals and equipment for the Nurse Practitioner Clinic. The Foundation has also recently funded the purchase of two laptops and a server for the Nurse Practitioner Clinic in downtown Brantford and a Geri Chair for a newly opened treatment room at the Nursing Care Centre.
The Foundation is committed to building healthier communities through the generosity of our caring supporters. Each donation helps strengthen our ability to meet the current and growing health care needs in our region and touch the lives of those in need. Below are some of the ways the resources are making a difference.
