Raised for the Closer to home than you think campaign

Closer to Home Than You Think.

When we launched Closer to Home Than You Think,  we set the most ambitious fundraising goal in KGH Foundation history: $40 million to help transform health care across the Southern Interior of BC. 

And together, we surpassed it.  

Thousands of donors, families, businesses, community partners and health care teams came together around a shared vision for the future of health care in our region. And as our community gave, their generosity went to work. Investments were made in new programs, leading-edge equipment, education, research, community partnerships and forward-thinking initiatives designed to meet the needs of patients and families today while preparing our health system for what comes next. 

Today, the impact can be seen across KGH and throughout our communities. 

Thanks to you, we did more than reach an ambitious goal. We changed what health care can look like, closer to home.
