Michael G. DeGroote’s historic contribution of $105 million to the Faculty of Health Sciences is a reflection of his belief in and support of McMaster’s vision and commitment to quality education and outstanding research. The former Hamilton resident and business entrepreneur believes that health care is the most prominent concern for Canadians.
"I am investing in new discoveries in health care and in the delivery of health care. The dividends of that investment will not only impact our community, but others around the world," he said. "I am confident of McMaster’s ability to maximize the impact of this gift so that its net effect will have far-reaching benefits."
Earlier gifts to the University from Mr. DeGroote have benefited the business school, the McMaster Museum of Art, epilepsy research, literary criticism and the McMaster University Student Centre.
