Zanchin Automotive Group Achievements & Community Impact

Healthcare

Supporting Healthcare in Vaughan and York Region

In 2019, Zanchin Automotive Group made a one-time $2 million donation to Mackenzie Health Foundation's Exceptional Care Belongs Here campaign.

The contribution supported the development of Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, now known as Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, as well as enhanced patient care at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital. Zanchin Automotive Group's donation specifically funded a bank of modern, accessible elevators designed to help patients, visitors, physicians, employees and volunteers move safely and efficiently throughout the new Vaughan hospital.

As a family-owned automotive group founded in Woodbridge, Ontario, Zanchin Automotive Group has longstanding roots in Vaughan and York Region. This major healthcare contribution reflects the group's commitment to supporting local hospitals, essential services and the communities it has served for more than 50 years.
