Roulston’s Pharmacy is making a major investment in local healthcare, committing $100,000 to the Norfolk Haldimand Hospice campaign.
The donation was announced during Pharmacy Appreciation Month in March and coincides with the company’s 93rd anniversary, forming part of its “100,000 Ways of Giving Back” initiative.
Blair Snow, co-owner of Roulston’s Pharmacy, says the decision was rooted in both professional experience and community need.
The funding will help support the development of hospice care services, aimed at providing compassionate, end-of-life care closer to home for residents across the region.
Roulston’s operates five locations across Simcoe, Port Dover, Delhi, and Tillsonburg, and Snow says the company’s deep roots in the community played a significant role in the decision.
Snow said many staff members were born and raised locally, and have seen firsthand the impact that limited hospice care options can have on families.
Snow says determining the $100,000 figure wasn’t tied to a specific formula, but rather a shared feeling among ownership that a larger contribution was warranted.
He adds the goal is not only to support the project financially, but also to help encourage others to give.
The hospice campaign has been years in the making, with multiple community groups and volunteers working toward the goal of bringing dedicated end-of-life care to Norfolk and Haldimand.
Snow says seeing the project move closer to reality is something both he and his partners are proud to support.
He adds that ongoing community support will continue to be essential, as hospice care relies heavily on donations to maintain operations.
With this contribution, Roulston’s Pharmacy is helping take another step toward ensuring residents can access compassionate, dignified care close to home at every stage of life.
