Volunteer run, community focused
ABOUT US
Supporting Regional
Health Care
The KGH Foundation operates several businesses throughout the hospital and the community. All are staffed by an incredible team of volunteers dedicated to giving their time in support of advancing health care in our region. Profits are dedicated to supporting the most urgent needs at Kelowna General Hospital.

Because of the generous support and efforts of our volunteers, along with our customers, the businesses are able to give back an impressive $850,000+ to support regional health care priorities each year

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.”
