LOWER SACKVILLE: The Cobequid Health Centre Foundation extends their sincerest thanks to everyone who supported the 32nd Annual Walk Run for the Health of Our Community.

On Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Cobequid Foundation welcomed community members to celebrate the incredible impact the Cobequid Centre continues to have on local healthcare.

This year’s event raised $27,751 toward funding a Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) Booth for Respiratory Services at the Cobequid Community Health Centre.

This essential equipment allows for the early diagnosis and monitoring of lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. Your support means patients in our community will have better access to care close to home.
