By helping us purchase sophisticated new equipment, funding vital research, or providing continuing education bursaries to nurses or medical students, you can help patients in a direct and tangible way. By funding patient care, you will change a life. By funding medical education, you will change hundreds of lives. By funding medical research, you will impact thousands of lives. Our hospitals are unique in combining all three of these approaches—all in one place. Funding from donors allows our hospitals to stay on the leading edge of advanced research, new technology and patient care. Donations allow our hospitals to be early adopters of the latest technology. They also help our researchers venture to push the boundaries of knowledge, making new discoveries that then become eligible for funding by the world’s most prestigious health research granting bodies like the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the National Institutes of Health in the U.S.
