Legion donates to Richmond Hospital Foundation’s Trio of Life campaign

When Royal Canadian Legion members from Branch 291 heard that Richmond Hospital is in immediate need of new diagnostic equipment for the cardio-pulmonary and neurodiagnostic unit, they jumped at the opportunity to support the foundation’s Trio of Life campaign with a $15,000 donation.
“Our members pitched in to support the Trio of Life campaign because they recognize that they can make a positive impact for many people in the community,” says Bill Costain, service officer and membership chairman of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 291 in Richmond.
Branch 291 (which formerly existed as Branches 5 and 209) has been a generous donor of the hospital foundation since 1990, and has supported pediatrics, long term care homes, and other important initiatives.
“Supporting this campaign will help physicians diagnose patients with updated and reliable equipment while providing patients with the best care in a timely manner,” says Costain.
Richmond Hospital Foundation is raising $580,000 to replace vital equipment for the cardiology, pulmonary, and neurology specialties, where physicians work with patients to discover, diagnose, and monitor symptoms and conditions related to the heart, lungs, and the body’s nervous system—referred to here as the “Trio of Life.” Existing equipment is aging, out-of-date, and in need of urgent replacement.
“The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 291 has donated to Richmond Hospital Foundation for more than 30 years, and we are extremely grateful for their ongoing support,” says Spencer Gall, campaign director at Richmond Hospital Foundation. “Community contributions such as this one from the Royal Canadian Legion play a significant role in helping us improve the speed and quality of care in Richmond.”
