Ramsay Health Care commits significant funds each year to health and medical teaching and research. Ramsay Health Care recognizes that it has an important role to play in the training and development of the future medical and nursing workforce. To this end, through its hospitals, the Company works closely with government and universities in the training of nursing and medical staff and commits major support to this area.
Ramsay Health Care is a major donor to some key Australian medical research groups – the Intensive Care Foundation and the Schizophrenia Research Institute. Both these organizations are doing extensive research in their fields and Ramsay Health Care has made significant funding commitments to assist them with their important work.
Ramsay Health Care is also a major event partner of the National Triathlon Pink series held in Australia. The Ramsay Health Care Triathlon Pink series event charity is the National Breast Cancer Foundation. With females making up the largest proportion of Ramsay Health Care staff and as many Ramsay hospitals have a focus on women’s health – sponsoring the Triathlon Pink series was seen as a perfect fit for the organization. Ramsay is proud to be associated with something that promotes health and fitness in the community as well as contributing funds towards a worthwhile cause.
Ramsay Charity Challenge for Employees
In 2008, Ramsay Health Care launched Ramsay Charity Challenge. Ramsay Charity Challenge encourages employees to participate in initiatives that raise money for charity and Ramsay will contribute up to 20% of the funds the employees raise towards the charity of their choosing.
Many employees of Ramsay already participate in giving something back to the community through challenging fundraising activities and this is a way that Ramsay Health Care can assist staff with accomplishing their goals in the most fair and equitable way.
