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 comes 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.
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.
