About
Since its inception the foundation has been very well received by the community and they have supported the projects the Foundation has undertaken. The goal has been to fundraise for medical equipment that is high priority, state of the art, and equipment that is needed for the Wainwright Health Center to enhance Health services to our communities.
The Foundation has funded and set up projects like the Cardiac Rehab centre, 60 new electric beds for the Wainwright Health Center, specialized equipment such as a Harmonic Scalpel for tonsillectomies, ultra sound tubs, and a whole host of other equipment that needed to be replaced or updated in the Health Center.
The Foundation has had continued financial support from the community with well over a million dollars being raised for equipment that has made a significant difference in delivering Health Services to the people in our communities.
Our main fundraising event happens every spring, and we call it the Heart Strings and Roses Gala. Click here for more information!
