This season of giving, give the gift of world-class health care to those in the Southern Interior.

Because you give
 Miracles are possible Lives are saved KGH is advancing Problems are solved

As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are filled with hope, compassion, and gratitude. This year, more than ever, we seek to understand the true meaning of miracles. In the words of an unknown sage, “Change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around.”

From around the world to right here at home, we have been touched by unprecedented challenges this past year and we’ve seen miracles of resilience, kindness, and courage in the face of adversity.  The extraordinary generosity of the human spirit always seems to find a way.

This holiday season, we invite you to join us in making a difference, right here at home. When you give to the KGH (Kelowna General Hospital) Foundation, you’re not only advancing world-class health care at our hospital and in our community, but also contributing to the miracle of healing, hope, and renewed life.

Your generosity will fund critical medical equipment, innovative research, and support programs for patients and their families at KGH and in the community. Your gift will help bring hope to those who are facing their darkest hours. Your gift is more than a donation; it’s a miracle that can and will, change lives.

This holiday season, let’s stand together and make miracles happen. Your gift, no matter the size, will have a profound impact.

Giving changes everything. It transforms lives, brings hope, and makes miracles possible. Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope for our community.

TESTIMONIALS
Making a Difference
“The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is essential for helping clinicians to deliver the best care for patients. Strong collaborations between clinicians, hospital administrators, patients, and community leaders are important to ensure that people who need the most complex medical care can stay local in Kelowna.”
Dr. Michael TsoMD Ph.D., Neurosurgeon
"Supporting people and innovation leads to results. We have seen major advances in the scope and quality of neurological care at our site by attracting and supporting people who build & innovate. Support from the community allows us to go beyond what we need today and drive care further.”
Dr. Daryl WileNeurologist at KGH
“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.”
Allison YoungCEO KGH Foundation
“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.”
