Thank you to Cross & Company for their generous $2,500 donation! The funds will be used towards our campaign to build the new surgical suite for the Endoscopy Department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Jared Cross, owner of Cross & Company, has a very personal reason for making the gift. His father received a colonoscopy at NRGH during which polyps were found and removed before they could turn into cancer. The new surgical suite will reduce wait times so our loved ones, like Jared’s father, can get this potentially life saving procedure sooner and closer to home.
