With your support, we’re dedicated to funding health projects that make breakthroughs possible for the thousands of people who rely on our health system every day. Our unique opportunity to work with all four Calgary adult acute care hospitals, numerous community health centres and programs, and 12 long-term care facilities gives us a 360 degree perspective on important health issues impacting our community. As we look ahead, we’re excited about innovations in women’s health, surgical innovation, and seniors’ health—and we can’t do it without the help of our generous donors.

Women’s Health

Only 3.4% of total research funding in Alberta goes toward female-specific health concerns. This is despite women making up 51% of the provincial population. That’s why we, with the support of our donors, are inviting the community to join us to help close the gap! Like helping create and fund a centre for excellence in women’s health.

From knee, shoulder, and hip replacements to spinal surgery and bone repairs, you’ll ensure our healthcare teams stay equipped to provide life-saving and life-changing surgery to thousands of patients ever year.

Seniors’ Health

20-30% of people over 65 fall at least once a year. Falls remain the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. For an older adult, a fall can mean a loss of their independence, threaten their autonomy, and shorten their lifespan. With your donations, we’re helping seniors age in place. By ensuring the best healthcare supports are available to them through every stage of their lives.
