Bruce Power has distributed 550 thank you care packages to local healthcare and long-term care staff battling COVID-19 on the front lines.
The packages were delivered to staff at facilities in Owen Sound, Wiarton, Kincardine and Saugeen Shores. Administrators at Kincardine Hospital, Southampton Hospital, the Chippewas of Nawash Health Centre, the Mino Bimaadsawin Health Centre in Saugeen First Nation, Trillium Court senior community in Kincardine, Maple View long-term care facility in Owen Sound, and Southampton Care Centre received the packages for distribution to their staffs.
Each package contained a gift card to a local restaurant and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Bruce Power continues to distribute hand sanitizer throughout the region with the help of local partners, and their health initiatives have received funding and help from a number of different organizations.
“These packages are a way for us to say thank you and to recognize health-care workers in our communities for their commitment, compassion and care,” said Mike Rencheck, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During this health crisis, physicians, nurses, specialists, administration, maintenance staff and other front-line workers at our health-care facilities have been at their very best in looking after our families, friends and fellow residents.”
