World-Class Health Care close to Home

Every day in communities across the southern interior of British Columbia, thousands of family’s lives are impacted by the need for urgent or specialized medical care at Kelowna General Hospital. In these moments, access to world-class, state-of-the-art medical facilities and the highest quality patient care is the difference – a promise of hope, relief and comfort in the face of the unknown.

Beyond simply fixing what is broken, curing what is sick, or healing what is wounded, your support is what makes excellence in regional health care possible – for you, your loved ones, and for all who call the southern interior of B.C. home.  Philanthropy is the vital link that enables us to build new facilities, acquire state-of-the-art equipment, fund innovative technologies and, ultimately, keep patients closer to home for advanced medical procedures.

The future of health care is being built by people like you. And we can help.

FROM THE FOUNDATION UP

Kelowna General Hospital began as a modest, 19-room community hospital back in 1908, funded by a small group of generous citizens and a donation of land by the Kelowna Land & Orchard (KLO) company.  In the decades since, KGH has grown into a world-class teaching hospital and lead referral centre for over one million men, women and children from across the interior of B.C.

For over four decades donors have trusted the KGH Foundation to provide a vital bridge between them and our partners in regional health care. Together, we are laying the foundations for better health care.

“People always ask why, but maybe they should ask why not! You get to work with the nicest people, for the nicest people. It’s the best kind of job satisfaction you’ll ever find.”

“Linking the passion and desires of donors to the needs/opportunities of the health system and KGH is such a privilege. I am inspired most by the people; our team, donors, clinicians & caregivers, and administrators and ultimately, the transformative changes to our system of care that become possible when we work together. I am grateful to be able to feel such purpose in my work.”

In Canada, I think we take our health care for granted. We don’t have a clue what anything costs. But every appointment and procedure has a price tag. We have always contributed to the hospital in a small way. However, after my emergency heart surgery and hospital stay, it seemed even more important. We want to contribute to the ongoing excellence of treatment and care at KGH.”
