BEVERLY THOMSON AND DR. BRYCE WYLDE TO SPEAK AT YORK CENTRAL FUNDRAISER

Richmond Hill, ON – The second r.a.p.t in health luncheon, to be held March 4, 2011, will include guest speakers Beverly Thomson, co-host Canada AM and honorary co-chair of the event and Dr. Bryce Wylde, a leading Canadian alternative health expert and a recent guest on the Dr. Oz show. The event will also feature entertainment by Yani and The Clave King, gift bags, raffles and door prizes.

All proceeds from the r.a.p.t in health luncheon will go towards equipping York Central Hospital’s newly renovated and expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The state-of-the-art unit was opened on December 14 and has increased the hospital’s capacity to provide specialized care for those babies that require extra attention after birth. Last year, the Hospital welcomed over 2,800 babies; on average, 13% or 364 of these infants required specialized care.
