Their involvement spans causes large and small, global and local, reflecting their dedication as good neighbors and corporate citizens.
“We are proud to support MUSC’s GME program of physician training that targets rural communities in need of stronger health care,” said Jan Martin, director of communications and public affairs of Domtar.
