Brenda Flaherty Community Fund
Brenda
Flaherty is a long-standing champion for high quality health care, and a strong
advocate for recognition of population health. She has advanced the need
for Hamilton Health Sciences to help address some of the socio-economic factors
that negatively impact people’s health.
In honour of
Brenda’s unwavering commitment to patients, the Brenda Flaherty
Community Fund has been established and will be used to support patients
who are struggling with even life’s basic necessities.
The Brenda
Flaherty Community Fund will help our Health Links program staff to have the
resources to help patients living in very dire circumstances. Often they
are called upon to purchase food, clothing, bedding, bus tickets and household
items until social and community services are organized.
The Brenda
Flaherty Community Fund will help to meet some of those needs.
