Kelowna General Hospital Foundation | Current Equipment Needs  Current Equipment Needs 

The KGH Foundation strives to seek funding for the highest priority medical equipment and health care projects that are not funded with limited government funding. We work very hard to ensure that the funds raised go towards the needs identified and that adequate, ongoing operating funds are available so the equipment we buy doesn't sit idle or get moved to other parts of the Province.
