Gabriel Pizza investing $100,000 into Orléans Health Hub at Hôpital Montfort

Gabriel Pizza has announced a $100,000 investment into Hôpital Montfort.

The local business says the funding is part of its long-term commitment to support the Orléans Health Hub (OHH) and Montfort's employee recognition program.

The OHH is a Montfort-led partnership with Bruyère, Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, ParaMed, Ottawa Public Health, Geriatric Psychiatry Community Services of Ottawa and Home and Community Care Support Services Champlain.

The hospital says the financial contribution will allow it to innovate and provide exemplary care and services, as well as integrated programs that are close to home, focused on patient needs, and offered in both official languages.

Also, in recognition of the efforts and hard work of hospital employees, Gabriel Pizza will be feeding the entire staff during Montfort's Staff Appreciation Day.

“We are very excited to join forces with Gabriel Pizza,” says Marc Villeneuve, President and CEO of the Montfort Foundation. “This contribution brings us closer to reaching our $12-million campaign goal towards this unique and innovation model of healthcare and it's a great way to express our thanks to the hospital's devoted staff. It's a win-win situation.”

“Gabriel Pizza grew up in this very community. Gabriel Pizza is deeply rooted in Orléans,” says the pizza chain's president George Hanna. “The Orléans Health Hub is an important facility to the on-going health care of area residents. It is only natural that we would support such a worthy initiative.”
