Staff Trust Diversity Bursary

The CMH Staff Trust Fund is an employee led and funded trust. For almost 50 years it has donated to local charities and organizations that help those in need in Cambridge, North Dumfries and the Region of Waterloo. In addition to supporting local charities, the CMH Staff Trust Fund members have developed an education bursary to help increase diversity in health care.
