"This represents a historic donation and a proud moment for 407 ETR," says Jose Espinosa, President & CEO, 407 ETR. "We've always connected people to the places that matter most -- and through this investment, we're proud to continue connecting communities to the care they need."
Directly attached to the School of Medicine, the TMU Integrated Health Centre supported by 407 ETR is helping expand access to team-based primary care and supporting hands-on medical education in one of Ontario's fastest-growing regions. The clinic is expected to play a critical role in providing primary care to more than 14,000 Brampton residents who don't currently have a family doctor.
"The TMU Integrated Health Centre supported by 407 ETR will be the cornerstone of experiential medical education in primary care, chronic disease management and community-based services," says Mohamed Lachemi, President and Vice-Chancellor of TMU. "By embedding learners directly within the community, we are addressing a recognized physician shortage while simultaneously expanding patient capacity. We are grateful to 407 ETR for joining us as a partner in strengthening Ontario's health care system for decades to come."
"407 ETR continues to show up for Bramptonians and sets the bar for what it means to be a strong corporate leader," says Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton. "From supporting fundraising efforts for Brampton's second hospital at Hockey Night in Brampton to investing in accessible sports and community initiatives, their ongoing support reflects a genuine commitment to our city and to the well-being of the people who live here."
