Jonas Haywood, Area Manager for TD Canada Trust announced a $12,000 donation to The Health Foundation's Education and Scholarship Program.
This brings TD Bank Financial Group's total contributions for this scholarship program to $92,000, and brings the total of their contributions to The Health Foundation to over $100,000.
"The Health Foundation's Education and Scholarship Program was launched in 2002 with a generous contribution and a long-term commitment from TD Bank Financial Group, and we are very pleased that this partnership continues to this day," said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. "We are also very pleased the program will continue several more years because of the commitment TD Bank Financial Group has made to the Education Program"
"Nine years ago when The Health Foundation wanted to start an education and scholarship program for employees of the health region they approached TD Bank Financial Group for funding. Since then, for nine consecutive years TD Bank Financial Group has provided scholarships for educational courses that contribute to the professional development of nurses or other practicing caregivers in our health region," said Jonas Haywood, Area Manager for TD Canada Trust.
"The Health Foundation is very grateful to TD Bank Financial Group for the generous and consistent support to the Education and Scholarship Program," said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.
"It is fair to say that without the support of TD Bank our education program would not exist. Nine consecutive years of donations at $10,000 or more a year is simply outstanding and exceptional support."
2010 is the first year of a new three-year commitment TD Bank Financial Group has made to this program. This agreement will take us to 11 consecutive years TD has partnered with The Health Foundation and made a very significant investment in our local healthcare system through this education program.
"We have enjoyed working with The Health Foundation over the last nine (9) years. We think this program has succeeded in assisting our nurses and other care givers to enhance their skills and improve the healthcare available in our local medical facilities," said Jonas Haywood.
