NEW TREATMENT SPACE GETS BIG BOOST FROM HOMEGROWN COMPANY A specialized service at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital has received a financial boost thanks to a Prince Albert based company with a heart for kids. B&B Construction Group generously gifted $250,000 to support the Pediatric Occupational Therapy Treatment and Splinting Room located on the main floor of the new hospital. “We are excited and proud to be able to make this commitment and donation to Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. On behalf of our employees and the Broda, Clunie and Burkosky families we thank all who have made this very needed facility and health service possible,” said B&B Construction Group Partner Russell Clunie Jr. “In making this donation we feel the children’s hospital is a long-needed and fantastic addition to our province which will serve and support many children and families though out Saskatchewan as well as our own community here in Prince Albert.”
“Leaving a bequest that specifically supported the smallest and most vulnerable babies was an easy decision for Theresa and our family,” said Martin’s brother Ron Schneider. “She had a great sense of pride knowing her gift would help give babies the best chance at survival.”
