Brockville: The Brockville General Hospital Volunteer Association donated $20,000 on June 8 to the Brockville Cardiovascular Rehab Unit based at BGH. This is the third such donation to the unit by the Association, bringing the total in support to $60,000. Maureen Overy, President of the Volunteer Association—flanked by the Directors of the Board of the Association—presents the cheque to Dr. Jay Bhatt, cardiovascular specialist with BGH and one of the founders of the unit.
