ROBERT PILON HEADLINING INAUGURAL
HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER
Richmond Hill, ON – The voice of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and The Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera, Robert Pilon, will be the lead performer in York Central Hospital Foundation’s Songs of the Season. The inaugural event is being held December 9 at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. In addition to Robert Pilon’s performance, a choir comprised of York Central Hospital physicians and staff will also be entertaining guests. The event’s Presenting Sponsor is National Bank and the Automotive Presenting Sponsor is Lexus of Richmond Hill.
All proceeds from the event will go towards the purchase of a standardized, state-of-the-art infusion pump system for York Central Hospital. This investment in a new pump system will increase patient safety by auto-programming medications, which in turn ensures the accurate dispensing of the right medications at the appropriate time. Since the pumps are programmed to dispense the correct dosages, nurses and other staff caregivers will have more time to spend with their patients allowing for increased bedside attention and education. This extra one on-one time that the staff will spend with patients will help improve the overall care and patient experience at York Central Hospital.
