Magna International Inc. has pledged a $10-million gift to help build and equip the future Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital – the largest donation yet to Mackenzie Health Foundation’s $250-million Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign.

The emergency department at the new hospital, slated for completion in 2019, will be named Magna Emergency in recognition of the transformational gift to Mackenzie Health.
“We’re exceptionally proud to make this gift on behalf of the many Magna employees in York Region,” Magna International CEO Donald Walker said, following the announcement today at the company’s biannual employee town hall event.

Mackenzie Health Foundation is spearheading the multi-year Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign – the largest fundraising drive led by a community hospital in Canada – to help build and equip the much anticipated Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, as well as to enhance care at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital.

“This tranformational gift made by Magna employees helps make possible Mackenzie Health’s vision to provide a world-class health care experience in York Region,” Mackenzie Health Foundation President and CEO Ingrid Perry said.
