Wainwright And District Community Health Foundation

The Health Foundation was incorporated under Alberta Health and Wellness and our mandate according to our by-laws was to Enhance Health Services.

The Wainwright and District Community Health Foundation is a relatively new foundation being formed in 1995. Since its inception the foundation has been very well received by the community and they have supported the projects the Foundation has undertaken. The goal has been to fundraise for medical equipment that is high priority, state of the art, and equipment that is needed for the Wainwright Health Center to enhance Health services to our communities.

The Foundation has funded and set up projects like the Cardiac Rehab centre, 60 new electric beds for the Wainwright Health Center, specialized equipment such as a Harmonic Scalpel for tonsillectomies, ultra sound tubs, and a whole host of other equipment that needed to be replaced or updated in the Health Center.

The Foundation has had continued financial support from the community with well over a million dollars being raised for equipment that has made a significant difference in delivering Health Services to the people in our communities.

Our main fundraising event happens on the second Saturday of every February around Valentines Day and we call it the Heart Strings and Roses Gala, which includes a wonderful banquet supper followed by an evening of entertainment. Corporate and individual sponsors are recognized at the event as well.
