belairdirect backs Georgian nursing students

Feb. 14, 2024

When the team at Johnson Insurance, now belairdirect, was first approached to support the Frontline Support: Health-care Heroes Closer to Home campaign, they didn’t give it a second thought. As a long-standing partner of Georgian and the Georgian College Alumni Association, they are constantly assessing where their corporate support can be most effective, and they knew the campaign fit with their company values.

“There was a need, and we were extremely happy and proud to support evolving the health sciences facility,” says Dianne D’Amico, Consultant, Home-Auto with belairdirect. “Education and health care are two of belairdirect’s top three sectors we support. What better way to support students, the college and the community than by having students complete their nursing program close to home?”

The company’s $75,000 investment will help ensure hands-on learning for students in a real-life setting.

By supporting the Frontline Support campaign, our contribution helped update the facility, the equipment and the technology needed to support Georgian’s new Honours Bachelor of Science – Nursing (BScN) degree program. We’re very proud to help Georgian prepare educated, talented and caring nurses for the future who will work and serve our communities – ensuring a healthier future for all of us.
