For Cigna, The Hamilton General holds a special place in his heart.
In late 2022, Cigna’s mother was admitted to The Hamilton General for three weeks. During that time, Cigna and his family experienced first-hand the challenges facing health care workers.
Seeing these challenges, Cigna saw an opportunity to help. “Rise Up” was born, and the rest is history.
“Fundraising events like Rise Up are vital in supporting the purchase of equipment that assists health care workers in providing the best possible care,” says Pearl Veenema, CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. “I am so grateful for all the time, effort and generosity that goes into running Rise Up and I know that this event will help empower health care excellence at Hamilton General Hospital and positively impact countless lives.”
Cigna and his team are now busy promoting their big community outreach initiative. Cigna knows that the event will be a resounding success as Hamilton is all about community pride. The city and its people are incredibly passionate when it comes to supporting its healthcare institutions, educational institutions, sports teams, entrepreneurs, businesses, artists, and musicians.
