Cris Collingwood//May 12, 2022//
Univest Financial is pledging $300,000 to Grand View Health Foundation’s This is Us Together campaign.
The regional financial services company, based in Souderton, said its pledge will help improve the critical healthcare infrastructure by supporting the new six-story, 190,000-square-foot Grand View Hospital pavilion that will open in Sellersville next summer.
“Univest believes we’re only as strong as the communities we serve, and one area we focus our giving is in health and social services,” said Jeff Schweitzer, president and CEO, Univest Financial Corporation. “We’re a longtime supporter and are proud to invest in the extraordinary growth of Grand View Hospital. We are excited for the positive impact it will have on the quality of care for people in Bucks and Montgomery counties.”
Univest’s pledge to support the This Is Us Together campaign signifies its ongoing dedication to its Committed To Local philanthropic giving program. In 2021, Univest donated $2.1 million to the communities it serves and its employees volunteered nearly 11,000 hours, Univest said in a press release.
Univest is the latest regional partner to support This Is Us Together, which is rapidly approaching its fundraising goal of $14 million.
“The closer we get to our goal, the stronger we can make healthcare throughout our region,” said Sandy Alderfer, Grand View Health Foundation Board chair and campaign chair.
Grand View Hospital’s new pavilion, which the campaign supports, will include 52 private patient rooms, 10 state-of-the-art operating rooms, and a new Emergency Department and rooftop helipad to support Grand View Health’s Level II Adult Trauma Center, the only level II trauma center in Upper Bucks County.
