About St. Michael’s Hospital Foundation
As of April 1, 2021, Providence Healthcare Foundation has amalgamated with St. Michael’s Hospital Foundation.
We are St. Michael’s Foundation, and we stop at nothing to help the hospital tackle some of the toughest health challenges of our time.
Bolstered by our fierce community of donors and volunteers, the St. Michael’s Foundation stops at nothing to make it happen.
Thanks to our donors, we envision a future where CAN’T, WON’T and NOT-A-CHANCE are not in St. Michael’s vocabulary.
- Our Vision: A relentless community of supporters who are galvanized by St. Michael’s ‘never-say-never’ spirit in the face of the toughest health problems of our time.
- Our Mission: St. Michael’s Foundation stops at nothing to fund the relentless pursuit of solutions to some of the world’s most intractable health challenges.
St. Michael’s Foundation also fundraises for our sister hospital, Providence Healthcare.
Since 1847, Providence has taken an innovative approach to healthcare by providing rehabilitation, palliative care, long-term care and community programs to Toronto residents.
Our three main areas of care include:
- Providence Hospital: We help adults rehabilitate and regain their strength after suffering complex medical conditions. Over 5,000 people utilize our innovative approaches each year.
- Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence: Our long-term care home provides a supportive environment for our 288 residents. The Houses of Providence staff provide the highest standards of comfort, care and dignity for our residents by focusing on best practices and a high quality of life.
- Adult Day Program: This program provides people with moderate to severe dementia with around the clock care.
As Toronto’s healthcare needs continue to evolve, Providence will continue to adapt by upholding the ‘helping and healing’ tradition that is engrained in our values.
We are Providence, and we exist to inspire your strongest self.
