Business Cares: Empowering local businesses to give back

On April 28, the PRHC Foundation, alongside partner Hanoi House, announced the launch of Business Cares. This new partnership program is designed to help local businesses support patient care at PRHC while strengthening connections with their customers, employees, and community.

The launch marks an exciting new opportunity within the Foundation’s $70 million Campaign for PRHC, inviting businesses across the region to play an active role in helping advance healthcare close to home. Business Cares makes it easy for companies to integrate giving back to their community into their own engagement and fundraising goals, while aligning with their values and building their brand in meaningful, authentic ways. Partners also gain exposure through PRHC Foundation’s communications channels, while becoming part of a trusted network of businesses.

“Business Cares is about creating a strong connection between community-minded businesses and the future of healthcare in our region,” said Lesley Heighway, President & CEO of the PRHC Foundation. “We know that the area’s businesses care deeply about the communities they serve. This program offers a simple, flexible way to turn that care into impact. They’ll help PRHC Foundation fund lifesaving equipment and technology, and strengthen relationships with their teams and customers. We’re grateful to Hanoi House for joining the program and helping to bring it to life, including this launch.”

Whether it’s hosting a fundraiser, running a point-of-purchase promotion, becoming a sponsor, or making a direct contribution, businesses can support in ways that fit their unique goals and be part of a cause that touches everyone in our region, across generations.

For Hanoi House owner Susan Tung, joining Business Cares is a natural extension of the restaurant’s longstanding commitment to community. “Being part of PRHC Foundation’s Business Cares program is a meaningful way for Hanoi House to give back to the area we love and call home, while strengthening our business,” said Susan. “Supporting our regional hospital is an investment in the health of the community we serve every day, including our customers, our team, and their families. That involvement has created a real sense of pride among our staff and patrons.”

Hanoi House has supported PRHC Foundation over the past several years through their own fundraising initiatives, including a dumpling drive and pop-up buffet that raised more than $3,000 for patient care. Becoming a Business Cares partner formalizes that commitment.

As a regional hospital serving more than 600,000 people across Peterborough and the surrounding counties, PRHC relies on community support to fund the state-of-the-art equipment and technology needed to deliver exceptional care. With the launch of Business Cares, PRHC Foundation is inviting businesses of all sizes to join a trusted network committed to community impact.
