Updated Endoscopy Equipment for Canmore General Hospital

The Canmore Hospital Foundation is proud to announce the successful completion of our $440,000 fundraising campaign to bring state-of-the-art endoscopy equipment to Canmore General Hospital. This vital equipment will help our healthcare providers diagnose and treat serious gastrointestinal conditions more effectively, improving patient care and outcomes.

With the support of our generous donors and community partners, the hospital will now be able to increase the number of endoscopy procedures performed each year from 1,300 to over 2,000—reducing wait times and ensuring more patients receive timely, high-quality care close to home. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this campaign a success! Your generosity is making a lasting impact on healthcare in the Bow Valley.

Life-Saving Surgical Equipment
As Canmore's population surged and surgical demand rose, Canmore General Hospital faced an urgent need for updated surgical equipment. Since its establishment in 1984, key areas like the surgical suites have not evolved to their full potential, leaving gaps in resources and capabilities. With the addition of new surgeons and the increasing demand for surgeries, it became imperative to upgrade our equipment to meet modern standards. Thanks to your support, we not only met but surpassed our fundraising goal, enabling us to acquire the advanced tools necessary to provide the highest quality care for our community, further advancing surgical excellence at Canmore General Hospital.
