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.
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.
Current Project
“Envision Our Grace”: This $3 million capital campaign will see the complete renovation and expansion of our Diagnostic Imaging department, adding a second CT Scanner, a new SPECT Gamma Camera, the addition of Echocardiogram services and new ultrasound and digital X-Ray machines. Once completed the new department will be more functional for patients and will dramatically increase our capacity for testing.
Equipment
Your support provides $250,000 each year for special medical equipment purchases including bladder scanners, wheelchairs, specialized beds, iPads, etc.
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.
