Bollywood Night 3: An evening of diversity, contribution and celebration
On April 2nd, those in attendance at Bollywood Night 3 were treated to an evening of spectacular Indian dancing and cultural cuisine.
By participating in this special event, the audience and a group of generous sponsors demonstrated their exceptional support for the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.
“The Friends Indian Dinner group are delighted to present a cheque to the RMH Foundation for $48,000,” said Dr. Bharat Maini, Chair of the Friends group. “What an enjoyable evening, full of delicious food, Bollywood dancing, fun, community participation and most of all — generosity.”
RMHF Executive Director Erin Coons was honoured to accept the donation, which is earmarked to help with the future Clinical Information System needs at the Ross Memorial Hospital.
“We’re so grateful for the energy and generosity shown by everyone who supported Bollywood Night 3, and for the hard work of the organizing committee, Dr. Bharat Maini, Dr. Bharat Chawla, Dr. Rajinder Momi and Dr. Gargi Bhatia,” said Mrs. Coons. “The success of this event will resonate for years to come as the Clinical Information System is developed to enhance patient care at Ross Memorial Hospital.”
“It's great that the communities of Lindsay and Peterborough came together for an evening of excitement and fun dedicated to a great cause,” said Dr. Bharat Chawla. “The event embodied the spirit of diversity, contribution, and celebration. A big thank you to everyone involved to make this event a grand success.”
The Friends Indian Dinner group and the RMH Foundation are grateful for the platinum sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz Peterborough.
About the Clinical Information System
The single largest challenge facing RMH currently is the transformation of clinical information management. The ultimate goal of an electronic medical record will be an ambitious, multi-year journey. Today electronic and paper information must be compiled, duplicated, stored and accessed multiple times, by multiple clinicians in multiple locations to treat a single patient. Our future vision will be one clinical information system where all clinicians caring for a patient see the same patient chart updated in real time. All caregivers will have access to the clinical information they need to facilitate the best care possible.
About the Friends Indian Dinner Group
The Friends group was formed about 40 years ago by Dr. Krishan Mohindra, a hematologist oncologist at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC). The group has raised thousands of dollars for various causes which include the PRHC cardiac catheterization lab, CT and MRI technology, well digging in India, support for earthquake victims in India, local hospice care, the Canadian Mental Health Association and now the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation. The baton of the Friends group has been passed on to the next generation, Dr. Bharat Maini, Dr. Bharat Chawla, Dr. Rajinder Momi and Dr. Sebastian Pinto, who are continuing the legacy.
