The Carlo and Angela Baldassarra Family has pledged $5 million to Mackenzie Health Foundation’s $250-million Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign to help build and equip the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital.
“For people today and for the next generations, my family understands how important it is to support and create new healthcare infrastructures in Vaughan,” said Carlo Baldassarra. “This community needs to continue to unite to make Vaughan the best place to live and watch your family grow and prosper.” The Inpatient Dialysis Unit at Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital will be named in honour of Carlo and Angela Baldassarra and Families to recognize their transformative gift.
Mackenzie Health Foundation’s $250-million Exceptional Care Belongs Here Campaign to help build and equip the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital is being spearheaded by a dedicated 33-member cabinet co-chaired by Greg Sorbara and Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua. Construction of the new hospital – a 1.2 million sq. ft., state-of-the-heart health care facility featuring fully integrated ‘smart’ technology systems and medical devices – began last fall, and is making significant progress toward the scheduled opening in 2020.
According to Campaign Cabinet Co-chairs, Greg Sorbara and Mayor Bevilacqua, the Baldassarra family has deep roots in Vaughan, as prominent citizens and owners of one of the city’s most respected and prolific homebuilders, the Greenpark Group. “The Baldassarra family’s generous contribution to the Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital is a demonstration of their longstanding commitment to city–building. This extraordinary gift is an example of how one family can make a profound impact on the lives of many and their compassion is a source of inspiration for us all. They share the values of hope and optimism, and exemplify the spirit of generosity that defines our community,” says Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua, Campaign Cabinet Co-chair.
