The Princess Margaret Hospital is now a little closer to their goal of 8 new dialysis machines. Since the Tribune, FYP Ltd and the Tile King began its appeal to the general public recently, corporate citizens and concerned persons have stepped up to the plate and have donated generously.

In this vein, Doctors Hospital and the Elodie Tomlinson Memorial Foundation joined together to make a contribution to the purchase of a much needed machine for the Dialysis Ward at Princess Margaret Hospital.  The Tomlinson Memorial Foundation also made an additional monetary contribution towards the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation. 

According to Mr. Donald Tomlinson, “the Elodie Tomlinson Memorial Fund was created in memory of my mother.  Family members have contributed to the fund in her name which has allowed us to make this donation today.  It pleases us to be able to assist such a worthy cause, in memory of our mother. An engraved plaque will be placed on the machine in commemoration the donation today.”      
"This donation to The Princess Margaret Hospital’s Dialysis Machine Fund will make a difference in people’s lives and improvement in the delivery of healthcare," said Michele Rassin, VP Operations, of Doctors Hospital. "These new hemodialysis machines will provide significant upgrades over the units that were previously used to provide this life-saving treatment. Community support is vital to the ongoing advancement of healthcare in the country, and contributions from corporate groups are critical," said Ms. Rassin.
