Enhancing care.

What We Support

At the Canmore Hospital Foundation, we are dedicated to enhancing healthcare excellence in the Bow Valley.

Through fundraising initiatives and community support, we champion four key funds: Equipment Purchases, Programs, Hospital Facilities & Capital Campaigns, and the Endowment Fund. Each fund plays a critical role in advancing patient care, improving facilities, and supporting healthcare innovation. Your donations make a tangible impact, ensuring that patients and families receive the highest quality of care when they need it most.

Equipment Purchases

At Canmore Hospital Foundation, we prioritize equipping Canmore General Hospital with the latest medical technology to deliver exceptional care to the Bow Valley community. Your support allows us to replace, update, and acquire brand-new medical equipment, ensuring our healthcare professionals have the tools they need to provide high-quality care. With over $1.0 million invested between 2012 and 2021, your generosity directly impacts patient care and safety. Your donation to the Equipment Purchases fund drives progress and innovation in healthcare delivery in the Bow Valley, ensuring our community has access to cutting-edge medical technology.

Programs

At Canmore Hospital Foundation, we believe in the power of programs to enhance patient care, support hospital staff, and strengthen community well-being. Your support helps sustain vital hospital programs such as the Hospital Gardens Program, Crossway Music Therapy Program, and Cancer Care, providing comfort, healing, and hope to patients and their families. Additionally, we develop, fund, and support Foundation programs such as Staff Appreciation and Bow Valley Health Care Scholarships, which are enormously impactful for patients, staff, families, and the community at large.

These programs are made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and community supporters, who recognize the importance of holistic care and community well-being. Your donation to the Programs fund directly contributes to the success of these initiatives, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care, hospital staff feel valued and supported, and the community thrives.

Hospital Facilities & Capital Campaigns 

At Canmore Hospital Foundation, we are committed to enhancing the physical environment of Canmore General Hospital to provide optimal care for our community. Your support enables us to undertake crucial facility upgrades and capital campaigns that transform the hospital into a space that meets the evolving needs of patients and staff.

From the Emergency Department Revitalization to the Golden Eagle View Longterm Care Unit renovation, each initiative has been a community-driven effort to ensure quality care close to home. Your donations have also funded projects such as adding two delivery and labour rooms, renovating the Endoscopy Suite, and upgrading staff rooms, all of which directly impact patient comfort, safety, and well-being.

As we embark on new projects, your continued support is vital. Together, we can ensure that Canmore General Hospital remains a beacon of health and healing in our community.

Endowment Fund

Our Endowment Fund provides a stable and perpetual source of funding to support healthcare initiatives in the Bow Valley. By contributing to the Endowment, you ensure long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of uncertainty. Your donations honor the health of our community and make a lasting impact on the future of healthcare in the Bow Valley.
