The Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust said it has raised $20 million in donations in just five months- thanks in large part to the generosity of the local and international business community.
The figure already is half of what the BHCT hopes to raise by spring 2014 to help fund construction of the Island’s new hospital, which is expected to be completed by then.
“Access to advanced high-quality healthcare is important for all communities and, with Bermuda’s physical isolation, having a local state-of-the-art hospital facility is critical,” said Andrew Cook, President of Alterra Bermuda. “Alterra is pleased to support the BHCT as they work to build a new hospital for Bermuda.”
The BHCT’s $40 million capital campaign is to help fund the $247 million KEMH Redevelopment Project.
Over the coming months the BHCT plans to reach out to more local and international companies, organisations, associations, families and private individuals.
