Purdue Pharma gift an example of community leadership

On March 21, the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation celebrated Purdue Pharma for its dedicated and generous support of the new Ambulatory Care Unit recently opened at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.

Because of their understanding of the importance of local health care and their commitment to the patients of the Rouge Valley Health System, Purdue Pharma generously made a $300,000 gift to the Vital Links Campaign supporting the redevelopment of the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. Purdue Pharma’s leadership set the pace and inspired other organizations to follow suit.

The Rouge Valley Health System Foundation applauds Purdue Pharma for providing such an excellent example of good corporate citizenship. Rouge Valley Health System Foundation is proud to have a long-standing relationship with Purdue Pharma, and looks forward to more such partnerships in the future.

The new Ambulatory Care Unit includes outpatient clinic visits, a new fracture clinic, outpatient procedures; and Medical day care and pre-admit visits. The space consolidates the many outpatient clinics Rouge Valley operates and allows the hospital to include an even wider range of new services. Convenient, accessible, and patient-focused, these high-traffic clinics include pain management, minor surgical procedures, pre-admission visits and day medical services such as chemotherapy. The hospital’s new Ambulatory Care Services Centre also includes new services such as ophthalmology and urology and will further advance Rouge Valley Health System’s mandate to be the best at what we do, close to home for our patients.
