You’re Making a Difference

Ensuring access to essential, life-saving care and equipment, and excellence in patient care. For our family, friends and neighbours, for everyone in our incredible, tight knit community. That’s why you give. That’s what motivates the community. And that’s why we’re here.

We Count on Each Other

Access to essential, life-saving care and equipment, and excellent patient care is made possible thanks to donors and volunteers. Your generosity provides the best possible care in three primary ways:

Capital Equipment

When your family, friends and neighbours need care, it should be available around the next corner, not in the next city over. But our government-funded healthcare system just can’t meet every need. That’s where you come in. Your donations secure access to life-saving equipment that would otherwise not be possible.

Infrastructure

Hospital visits can be intimidating, but with the right care, they don’t have to be. Your donations go towards constantly improving the hospital’s infrastructure so that patients have access to comfortable, safe, and heartfelt care.

Education

You and your loved ones deserve the best possible care, and exceptional care requires exceptional skills. That’s why your donations go towards continuous education and training ensuring that the community has access to highly skilled, local healthcare professionals.
