Board Chair Bob Rochon reviewed the board's accomplishments during the past year, which included being recognized by the Friends Foundation for having achieved the Innovator donor level. Over the years, the foundation has donated more than $259,000 to the Friends Foundation in support of care provided to patients, including to those in our area. Recently, BACH contributed $60,000 over a 5 year period toward the development of a new Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit at the Moncton Hospital. The unit began providing service in May 2025.
In addition to supporting equipment purchases for the Albert County Community Health Centre, the foundation provided financial support to groups and organizations in 2024, including a $5,000 contribution to the Connecting Albert County newsletter; $4,389 to purchase books for children aged 0-5 years through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program; $2,500 to support the Youth Impact Jeunesse drug intervention program; and, $1,825 to the Fundy Curling Club to support their youth curling program. We also awarded two $500 educational bursaries to high school students who pursued post-secondary studies in a healthcare-related field.
The board of directors is proud of the work we do in the community, and we wish to thank the public for your support!
