Supporting Regina’s hospitals a company and employee effort for Yara Belle Plaine

Over the years, the company has supported the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care, the Wolfe Stroke Unit and the hemodialysis unit.

While the company provides corporate investment to the Foundation, supporting local health care is a cause Yara Belle Plaine staff equally feel passionate about. They have undertaken their own fundraising initiatives for causes such as the Z99 Radiothon in support of Regina’s NICU. Yara Belle Plaine then matches its employees’ donations.

“There’s always a sense of pride when you can see the employees are interested in what the company is doing,” says George. “We know supporting our hospitals is for George Pohorelic, Yara Belle Plaine president and plant manager (left) the better good of the employees, families and future generations to come and it’s When Yara Belle Plaine, one supporting local health care heartwarming that people want of Canada’s largest nitrogen and making sure our hospitals to help.” have up-to-date equipment and “MEDICAL IMAGING facilities, gives back FITS OUR VISION, OUR to the community, it focuses technology,” he explains. “It’s a Lisa Green, vice-president, great way to make a positive IDEA OF WHAT FUNDS development, Hospitals of on a few key areas− health, SHOULD GO TOWARDS - safety, education and the impact in our community.” Regina Foundation says the NEW EQUIPMENT AND environment.

Imagine the bright renewal of spring, sunshine of summer, warm glow of autumn and frostiness of winter. On June 23, 2018, the four seasons experience awed guests who attended the second annual Four Seasons Ball. Saskatchewan’s premier black-tie event featured an exquisite six-course meal, Canada’s favourite comic, Rick Mercer, and an array of entertainment, all in support of world-class local pediatric health care, right here in Regina.

We are profoundly grateful to our partners, supporters and volunteers, whose commitment to this event helped make it a success once again. GMS (Group Medical Services), a gracious donor and a great community partner, generously returned as the presenting sponsor. They care about the health of our children as deeply as we do, and that commitment will help ensure our pediatric teams have the best technology and equipment they need to deliver the best care possible.

Events like the Four Seasons Ball are possible thanks to a supportive community that wholeheartedly believes in good, local health care. Thanks to you, children across Saskatchewan have access to the specialized health care they need, right here at home.
