The Foundation at Work in Our Community

As the official charitable organization for the Moose Jaw Union Hospital, the Foundation works in close partnership with the Five Hills Health Region to identify the most critical needs of the hospital. The Foundation's role is to inspire and motivate, and then link donor and community support to invest in the Moose Jaw Union Hospital.

Through a donor-centered approach the Foundation provides charitable investment opportunities that transform the community's goal of enhancing the hospital into a reality. By working in partnership with the community and the Five Hills Health Region, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation raises funds to:

• Purchase state of the art medical equipment
• Continue the advanced education of hospital professionals to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of direct patient care
• Support innovative community health programs and services
• Provide inspiration, leadership and options for those wishing to support the Moose Jaw Union Hospital

The Moose Jaw Health Foundation honors the generous support the Hospital has received throughout its long history. It builds upon this historic support by developing collaborative partnerships with those that share the vision of enhancing the hospital.

Planning Today for a Healthy Tomorrow

Each year the Moose Jaw Health Foundation continues to advance its mission of raising and investing funds to overcome current and future challenges facing the Moose Jaw Union Hospital. Your generous contribution in the way of a donation or as a volunteer is essential to enhancing and securing health care in Moose Jaw.

On behalf of the Moose Jaw Health Foundation Board and Staff, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your overwhelming support in making 2007 the most successful year in Foundation history.

2008 promises many opportunities for the community to show their support for our hospital. New this year will be the launch of the Foundation's planned giving program to help donors wishing to make a contribution through their estate. The second annual Family First Radiothon will take place on May 1st and 2nd and run 36 hours on 800 CHAB. Funds raised will help purchase lifesaving medical equipment for the Intensive Care Unit and a Family Room for ICU patient families.

The Moose Jaw Health Foundation in 2008 will also partner with many businesses and service club organizations to provide additional opportunities for the community to support healthcare through events.

It is a humbling experience to see individuals from all walks of life walk through our door and tell us how important the Moose Jaw Union Hospital is to their family. So many of our donors tell us stories of how doctors, nurses and other health care professionals helped them through a significant crisis in their life. Donors want that same level of excellent care for their children and grand children.

As an independent non-profit organization, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation relies on the generosity of our donors to raise 100% of our funds. We are grateful to all our donors for their exceptional generosity and commitment to our hospital and healthcare in Moose Jaw .

Every dollar raised stays in our community, to invest in state-of-the-art equipment and services at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital. You have made a significant difference with your contribution and continued support.

Your commitment to helping health care in our community is sincerely appreciated by both the Foundation and the Moose Jaw Union Hospital - thank you.

Sincerely,

Kelly McElree
