To thank frontline health-care workers for their endless strength, courage and dedication,
Columbia Sportswear Company is opening its employee store once again for
London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) staff as part of its Community Cares Program.
Employee Store Access
Starting September 13 until October 13, 2024, the Columbia Employee Store (located at 1425 Max Brose Dr. London, ON) will open its doors exclusively for LHSC employees.
Enter to Win
Each LHSC employee who visits the store between September 13 and October 13, 2024 will receive one entry into a draw to win a $500 Columbia gift card.
Proceeds to Support Patients
For every purchase made by LHSC employees during the timeframe mentioned, Columbia will donate 10 per cent to LHSC’s Patient Assistance Program, up to a total of $25,000.
“One of our core values is to do the right thing, not just for our company, but also for our consumers, customers, employees and their communities. Here at Columbia, our entire 81-year history has been driven by a deep commitment to the people and families who live, work and play in the communities where we operate and to the scarce resources that we all have a responsibility to steward effectively.”
Thanks to the dedicated LHSC staff who took part in the previous Columbia Cares Program, more than $49,000 has been donated to the patient assistance program as a result of this initiative. A program aimed at helping support patients and families by relieving the burden of unexpected costs associated with medical care.
Monday to Friday 10 A.M. – 8 P.M.
Saturday & Sunday 10 A.M. – 5 P.M.
Hospital treatment can bring with it many unexpected expenses like medications, wigs, mastectomy bras, child care, travel and more. These expenses may create a significant burden for some people, potentially preventing individuals from receiving the recommended treatments. Delaying care due to financial strain can lead to worsening health as conditions progress, and in some cases, may even result in loss of life.
