Mission: Grand River Hospital Foundation raises funds to help Grand River Hospital provide exceptional health care.
Vision: Grand River Hospital Foundation fosters a philanthropic environment where everyone in the community understands and passionately supports exceptional health care.
In the last ten years, Grand River Hospital and the Foundation have worked together to raise more than $71 million to transform health care delivery for the people in our community. These funds have been raised through two capital campaigns (Campaign KW and One Voice One Vision) as well as through regular cash gifts, planned gifts, corporate gifts, tribute and memorial gifts, gifts-in-kind and special events.
The expansion of services during this time means it is no longer necessary for patients to leave the community for significant medical care. Money raised by the Grand River Hospital Foundation has helped fund regional programs such as the Grand River Regional Cancer Centre, the region’s first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) site and expanded Emergency care. It took the community working together and providing financial support to ensure that citizens in the region were able to stay closer to home to receive comprehensive care.
Like the great tradition of caring at Grand River Hospital, we are fortunate to have a community with a longstanding tradition of support. Whether it be individuals, local businesses and corporations, service clubs or private foundations, donors to Grand River Hospital Foundation have always had a common bond: their commitment to health care and building upon a health community.

The St. Mary’s General Hospital Foundation raises funds to invest in the enhanced delivery of healthcare at our hospital.
St. Mary’s was founded in 1924 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton. Since 1924, we have been an island of hope and compassion for the residents of Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas.
Known for our uncommon grace and respect for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit, St. Mary’s is considered a community jewel. Over the decades, we have combined medical excellence and innovation with the compassionate care and mission-focused work that is the hallmark of our Founders.
In 2001, we became home to the St. Mary’s Regional Cardiac Care Centre and now offer a full range of advanced cardiac services to residents of Waterloo Region and the surrounding counties of Grey, Bruce, Wellington, and Perth. In addition to cardiac diagnostics, we provide angioplasty, by-pass surgery, heart-valve replacement surgery, pacemaker insertions, and cardiac rehabilitation. Earlier this year, both our cardiac surgery program and cardiac angioplasty program were recognized as the best in Ontario.
In addition to our cardiac program, we are developing Centres of Excellence in Respirology, Urology, Ophthalmology, Thoracics, and Minimal-Access Surgery.
As we continue to devote our days and nights to the community we love, we live the credo of our Founders: it is an honour to serve the sick. If you would like to support our efforts, please contact the Foundation at www.smgh.ca/foundation or foundation@smgh.ca or call 519.749.6797.
