Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group recently donated $25,000 to Richmond Hospital Foundation’s mental health campaign fundraising initiative.
Connor, Clark, & Lunn Financial Group is one of Canada’s largest privately owned asset management firms. Its affiliate teams manage over $105 billion in assets from offices across Canada and internationally. For over two decades the Connor, Clark & Lunn Foundation has enriched local communities by creating opportunities for philanthropy and volunteerism.
“My hope is that this contribution will further inspire joyful giving to Richmond Hospital Foundation. Mental health impacts us and those around us perhaps more than we may realize,” says Daniel Wong, vice-president and portfolio manager at Connor, Clark & Lunn Private Capital. Wong is also a Richmond resident and a Richmond Hospital Foundation board member.
“This campaign has already gone a long way in improving the lives and overall health of our community; however, the work is not done. Let’s all continue to seek ways to make a positive impact,” says Wong.
With one in five people in the local community facing mental health challenges, the renovated in-patient acute mental health unit will ensure Richmond Hospital staff and physicians can deliver state-of-the-art person- and family-centred care in an inclusive and welcoming manner. This model of care involves both patients and their families in care planning and service delivery right from the start.
“The new in-patient acute mental health unit will play a significant role in a person’s mental health recovery,” explains Natalie Meixner, president and chief executive officer of Richmond Hospital Foundation. “We are extremely grateful to Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group for helping our health care teams provide the best possible mental health care and create a positive experience for our patients and their families.”
