Your gift to Grace Hospital Foundation directly supports patient care enhancements that would not otherwise be funded by the government and helps assure that every patient who come to the Grace has access to the best care possible.
Current Project
Your support will provide our staff with a “Wellness Room”. This $300,000 project will create a large space that will include a yoga/meditation zone, a relaxation retreat featuring massage chairs, a comfortable zone for socialization and several personal pods where staff can rest in tranquility. Pet therapy and other therapeutic interventions will also occur in this special space.
COVID-19 Fund
In response to the global pandemic crisis, we established the COVID-19 Fund. The fund is used to provide free bedside TV, internet, phone service, and iPads for all patients. The fund is also used to support staff needs including meals and free coffee days. This pandemic continues to affect our community and the world. Donations are still required so that we can be prepared for future developments or needs for resources.
Equipment
Your support provides $250,000 each year for special medical equipment purchases including bladder scanners, wheelchairs, specialized beds, and many other critical items for patients.
Research
Your support provides $10,000 each year for research projects conducted on-site at Grace Hospital.
Programs
Your support provides $20,000 each year for programs to enhance patient care such as Music Therapy and Art at the Bedside through Artists in Healthcare Manitoba. Your gift also supports many comfort care programs through our Volunteer Resources department such as teas for Grace Hospice residents, birdfeeders, and the Patient Book Cart.
