The annual Black Bears Charity Hockey Tournament was able to raise some big dollars for the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation. Now in it’s 16th year, the security personnel at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories raised $24,500 for the hospital. With the donation, the Pembroke Regional Hospital was able to purchase a Tono-pen for the Emergency Department which measures ocular pressure and a bladder scanner for the Rehab Department. “We are so thankful to the Black Bears Charity Hockey Tournament for supporting their local hospitals. Over the years, they have generously donated over $100,000 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital, allowing us to buy much needed equipment which is not funded by the government,” said Roger Martin, Executive Director of the PRH Foundation.
