It’s a Hospital Day of Giving at area McDonald’s in Trenton and Brighton on Wednesday.
McDonald’s in those communities will donate $1 from every Big Mac, and 50 cents from every coffee sold on that day, to the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.
Funds raised will support the purchase of a new $700,000 mammogram that is needed for more than 5,000 patients each year to diagnose breast cancer.
One in eight women will get breast cancer annually in Canada.
There is no cure.
Early detection by way of a mammogram to confirm the cancer is an effective way to help save a life and get treatment started quickly.
Trenton Memorial Hospital has a Breast Cancer Assessment Centre where area patients will come for their Ontario Breast Screening appointments as well as additional mammograms and biopsies for cancer diagnosis.
One in eight women will get breast cancer annually in Canada.
Executive Director of the TMH, Wendy Warner, says “We depend upon the commitment, dedication and compassion of people like the owners of McDonald’s (Trenton and Brighton) to help our hospital deliver services for more than 80,000 people who depend upon it.”
