Our Impact
People are often surprised to learn just how essential donors are to supporting health care. Donors fund 100 per cent of the equipment used to diagnose, treat and care for patients at hospitals. Glance around any patient room or treatment area and you will see the impact of donations on patient care.
Donations also support research programs, education and training for hospital staff, and funding for renovations or redevelopment. Donors play a vital role in the health care of our community and their contributions impact patients every day.
In 2019, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation was pleased to disburse $31.75 million to enrich patient care across Hamilton Health Sciences. Over the last ten years, the cumulative impact of donors’ contributions supporting vital equipment and patient amenities, redevelopment initiatives, research and fellowships, and education and bursaries is nearly $150 million. Across the spectrum of life’s journey, the teams at Hamilton Health Sciences are committed to the highest quality patient care and The Foundation is pleased to be a partner in providing vital funding in support of patients from across south-central Ontario.
