Borouge International donates $250K to Red Deer Regional Hospital Foundation
The company, formerly known as NOVA Chemicals, was recognized with a naming presentation for its investment in local healthcare.
Why it matters
The donation supports expanded diagnostic imaging capacity at a hospital serving growing patient demand across Central Alberta.
The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation held a special naming recognition presentation to thank Borouge International for a $250,000 donation supporting Red Deer Regional Hospital. The company was previously known as NOVA Chemicals.
Foundation CEO Manon Therriault said the company's commitment to the community remains strong despite the name change, calling the partnership meaningful for patients and families across the region.
The funds will support innovation in diagnostic imaging, an area affecting emergency and trauma care, stroke diagnosis, cancer care and inpatient services. The Foundation says about 3,350 CT scans are performed monthly at the hospital, and diagnostic imaging capacity is expected to double as part of the hospital's expansion.
Rob Thompson, Borouge International's Regional Head of Operations for the Americas, said the company has deep roots in Central Alberta and sees access to quality care as fundamental to a thriving community.
