Mandip Gill, a sales rep with Sutton Group – West Coast Realty, has joined a community effort to fund a $12.5 million upgrade to the Delta Hospital in Delta, B.C. Since April 2013 he has been donating five per cent of his commissions to the hospital’s Diagnostics Services Campaign, which requires $7.5 million of non-governmental donations.
“I have been a life-long resident of Ladner and the hospital is a much-needed facility in our community,” says Gill. “This hospital has been able to add a lot of new equipment due to donations from the community.”
The Delta Hospital was built in 1977 and since then, advances in technology and medicine are helping people live longer, but often longer lives are accompanied by more medical conditions and chronic illness. As a result, there is an increasing need for testing. The Delta Hospital’s medical imaging and laboratory have remained unchanged for 30 years. A blood test, an x-ray or a CT scan can save a life, detect the otherwise undetectable and allow a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis.
