Skyline has donated $40,000 to support the Gravenhurst Health Hub project.
According to officials, the funds are part of the $260,000 raised by Skyline’s 22nd annual Charity Golf Classic.
Officials said the health hub project was among three charitable organizations selected to receive proceeds from this year’s event.
Dr. Keith Cross, co-chair of the Gravenhurst Health Hub Steering Committee, said the funds will help them finish the facility, recruit additional providers and bring diagnostic imaging to the community.
“It’s our estimate that we have 6,000 unattached patients within the community that are seeking care through the emergency department or walk-in clinics, and we would like to add primary care providers to fill that need,” said Cross.
Health hub officials said they are grateful for Skyline’s support and for the tournament participants whose generosity helped make the contribution possible.
The Gravenhurst Health Hub is a community-led initiative aimed at expanding access to local primary care, diagnostics, and wellness services by transforming the second floor of a two-storey building already owned by the Cottage Country Family Health Team.
