$100,000.00 Early Gift to support MRI for Ottawa Valley
Residents
Local family Mr. Herb and Mrs. Darlene Liedtke honour local
health care
PEMBROKE
(ON) – In support of local healthcare, Mr.
Herb and Mrs. Darlene Liedtke made an early gift towards the
purchase of an MRI for Ottawa Valley residents.
“After the
LHIN and Ontario Government made the announcement that there
was to be an MRI for our area, I knew we had to get on
board,” remarks Herb Liedtke.
 The
$100,000.00 donation is an advance gift in support of the
purchase of new diagnostic imaging equipment. At the
beginning of September 2011, the Provincial Government
announced the funding of operational costs for the new MRI,
a first for Renfrew County.
”This
wonderful Christmas surprise that will go to improving the
lives’ of the people in our region,” Pierre Noel, chief
executive of the Pembroke Regional Hospital shared. “The
more comprehensive health care we can have closer to home,
the better for everyone in Renfrew County.”
“We are
proud to make this donation as it is a worthwhile project,”
expressed Herb and Darlene. “Not only is this technology
critically important for our area, but it also represents a
tremendous opportunity to give back to the community,”
continued Mr. Liedtke.
