$100,000 Donation to Groves Memorial Hospital from CW Rotary

Posted by Paul Valeriote on Mar 21, 2016
Last month, The Rotary Club of Centre Wellington made a pledge of $100,000 over 5 years to the New
Groves Hospital Campaign.
“The Hospital is a big part of the community, we are fortunate to have such an amazing one here in Centre Wellington, [but] there are some major costs in building a new hospital and without community support it won’t happen” said Denise Pukarowski, past Centre Wellington Rotary Club President.
The Rotary of Centre Wellington recognizes that health care is not only an immediate priority but one that will endure for generations.
