The Impact of Giving Time

It is no secret that the current hiring environment is a challenge for many businesses. Having the right person in the right role, someone friendly, reliable, and responsible, can truly make or break the experience customers can have. So, it is easy to understand why we treasure our KGH Foundation volunteers so deeply. Their gift of time and talent is so much more than a four-hour shift each week.

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.”
Lee & Jack Gibson
KGH Foundation Donors
Giving Changes Everything
Your support bridges the gap between the expanding healthcare needs in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, and Kelowna General Hospital’s equipment, training, and capacity to deliver care. Your gift means reduced wait times, better patient outcomes, an increase in specialized care, and so much more.
