Press Release – Huronia Alarms donates $25,000 to the Georgian Bay General Hospital

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Midland, Ontario: May 25, 2013

“Huronia Alarms has been an active and involved member of the Southern Georgian Bay community for over 40 years.  So when Lynda asked us if we would be able to participate in the expansion of the Emergency Department we saw an opportunity to give back to this community in a meaningful way,” said Kevin Leonard, President of Huronia Alarms.

Lynda Wolfhard, President of the Georgian Bay General Hospital notes, “Our hospital is unique because we serve as a catch basin for a very large geographic area and one that has grown from 18,000 patient visits per year when the unit was opened in 1976 to more than 45,000 visits this year.  Huronia’s generous donation toward the construction of the new Security Room in the new Emergency Department has helped move this very important initiative forward.”

“We certainly want to thank Huronia and our other corporate sponsors,” said Karen McGrath, President and CEO of GBGH.  “The ED redevelopment project will not only help with patient capacity issues but it will also aid us in our work to reduce wait times and improve the patient experience in our hospital.”

Huronia Alarms is Southern Georgian Bay’s leading provider of home and business security and monitoring services, fire and safety services and products, as well as home theatre, audio and video consultation and entertainment room design, cabling and smart home wiring for today’s home automation requirements
