Real Stories. Real Impact.
“A truly authentic relationship”: Lloydminster Regional Health Foundation's Synergy Story
As CEO of the Lloydminster Regional Health Foundation (LRHF), Stephanie Munro works tirelessly with her team to “bring better healthcare closer to home.” Achieving this goal requires collaboration with community partners that are authentically invested in the well-being of people. For Stephanie, there is no better partner than Synergy Credit Union.
“We’ve been working with Synergy as a financial partner for years. When we call on them, they’re there.” Beyond day-to-day business a valued friendship has blossomed over time. “Synergy makes us feel like a priority - a product of a truly authentic relationship.”
Stephanie believes this authentic relationship has helped bring about transformational change in healthcare improvement in the Lloydminster region. “It’s been incredibly valuable to call upon Synergy’s financial expertise.” From everyday transactions to sophisticated investment strategies, Synergy’s guidance has enabled LRHF to maximize donor dollars and direct more resources into regional healthcare initiatives. Synergy has also been a “significant supporter, collaborator and volunteer” for LRHF. From financial stewardship to grassroots collaboration, Synergy is “a key player in our efforts and in our communities.”
As a leader who values “accountability, authenticity, transparency, trustworthiness and courage,” Stephanie admires Synergy’s organizational ethos. These foundational values are lived “at the top” by Synergy leadership, who welcome collaboration that benefits local well-being. This people-centric mindset “flows down through the entire credit union, forming the heart-warming core of Synergy.”
Synergy is proud to work with dedicated organizations like LRHF that prioritize the health and well-being of people in our communities. LRHF is more than a business member to us - they’re valued partners we applaud, admire and fully support. Working together, we can expand our impact and drive meaningful change. This is Synergy.
