As the season of gratitude approaches, the KGH Foundation warmly invites you to participate in a global movement of generosity: GivingTuesday.

On this day, we reflect on the countless ways in which your support has enabled us to elevate health care, right here in the heart of British Columbia. It’s a celebration of the power of giving, a reminder that in the act of uniting for a common cause, we can transform lives and communities.

Your contributions on GivingTuesday will continue to be the cornerstone of progress at Kelowna General Hospital and its associated care facilities. Your generosity ensures that world-class health care is not just a hope, but a reality, for up to 1 million people across the interior of British Columbia.

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 Tso
MD 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 Wile
Neurologist at KGH
"At my core is a deep-seated belief in the power of people driven by purpose, and the strength we have as a collective. It is this belief that fuels my desire to catalyze transformative change—not just for my organization, but for the entire community. Each day, I have the privilege of supporting extraordinary individuals who dream big, ignite hope, and courageously drive forward change, together."
Allison Young
CEO 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.”
