$50,000 Grant from CMA Foundation!
25-2-2021
RLMCMH would like to gratefully acknowledge the $50,000 grant that was recently received from the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Foundation! We are very fortunate to have been recognized by the CMA's COVID-19 Funding Program.
The CMA Foundation has granted $5 million to support the Frontline Fund for Healthcare Workers, to ensure that health care workers on the frontline of Canada's largest hospitals can access the resources they need when they need them.
An additional $5 million has been granted to support health care workers at the frontline of community hospitals, through a fund set up by the CMA Foundation.
Together, this funding is providing medical equipment, supplies and supports such as personal protective equipment, digital infrastructure for virtual care and counselling to frontline workers at more than 240 hospitals.
To date, the funds received by RLMCMH have been allocated toward screening equipment, PPE, and an electronic door opener to facilitate the use of our outpatient waiting room as a screening checkpoint. Thank-you CMA Foundation!
