The RBC Foundation today announced a $10,000 gift to the St. Joseph’s General Hospital Foundation to provide training for nurses in the areas of advanced cardiac life support and Indigenous cultural education.
“We are grateful for this support, which helps us provide the most current and meaningful education to our nurses,” said Leslie Sanders, VP – Quality & Clinical Services & Chief Nursing Executive at St. Joseph’s General Hospital.
The gift enables 10 nurses in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit to receive necessary Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training. It will also provide experiential education designed to provide nurses with the tools they need to provide care that is culturally safe for members of local Indigenous communities.
“This cultural education is part of our collaborative agreement with Maamwesying North Shore Community Health Services,” said Sanders.
