ProMedica, a mission-based, not-for-profit health and well-being organization, announced two updates regarding its ongoing commitment to investing in the communities it serves. The updates involve community projects in Toledo, Ohio, where the national organization is headquartered.
The first update involves a gift ProMedica recently committed to Metroparks Toledo to help support the Glass City Metropark & Riverwalk development. ProMedica has agreed to donate $10 million to the project over the next six years. The gift will help create a well-designed public green space with a range of activities in the city’s core where people can connect, recreate, exercise, relax, discover, learn, and experience the health benefits of nature. The park project is also expected to benefit the community by attracting visitors, creating jobs, driving economic growth, and conserving and preserving its most important natural resources.
