ACE Foundation Donates $1 Million To BHCT
Today [June 19], Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust [BHCT] announced that the ACE Foundation-Bermuda has fulfilled its $1 million pledge to the Why it Matters campaign in support of the KEMH Redevelopment Project.
A spokesperson said, “The project’s overarching aim is to transform Bermuda’s hospital care delivery with the completion of the new Acute Care Wing. The construction project was the largest ever in Bermuda and the building took over four years to complete. Scheduled to open to the public in September, patients can expect a state-of-the-art facility matched by an enhanced level of clinical care.”
“ACE Foundation-Bermuda is proud to provide this grant to a landmark healthcare institution serving our Bermuda community. We are happy to contribute to the Why it Matters Campaign as this cause will help to strengthen the community in which we live and work,” said Rees Fletcher, Division President, ACE Bermuda.
