May 26, 2005—Halifax, NS —
RBC Financial Group announced a contribution of $500,000 to
the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre (QEII). This
donation will facilitate further growth of the Multi-Organ
Transplant Program (MOTP), and help to fund endowed chairs.
"This donation will help to assist with the Program's
continued growth," said Fred Fountain, Chair of the Working
Miracles campaign. "On behalf of the patients who will
benefit throughout the entire Atlantic Region, the QEII thanks
RBC for this gift."
The MOTP provides transplantation services for the Atlantic
Provinces, and serves a population of almost three million
people. The services include transplantation of solid organs
such as the kidneys, the liver, the heart, and the pancreas.
Approximately two thousand Atlantic Canadians have received
organ transplants at the QEII.
