Through a series of self-organized events comprising of a virtual Lunar New Year Dinner, online auction and raffle ticket sales, plus generous donations from members and attendees, Rotary Club of Richmond raised $20,000 to fully fund a new cystoscope for Richmond Hospital. “Rotarians are community-builders focused on improving the communities we live in and investing in the next generation,” says Suna Yee, current President of Rotary Club of Richmond. “Contributing to our community health care system is long-lasting impact that will benefit patients now and in the future. We are honoured to be able to deliver a tangible, lasting solution for Richmond Hospital.”

“Richmond’s growing population, along with number of patients requiring urologic care has increased,” says Candace Hernandez, Vice President, Richmond Hospital Foundation. “Rotary Club of Richmond’s donation will assist in the purchase of a new cystoscope and allow our expert health care team to keep pace with the increasing number of surgical procedures.”
