November 7, 2024St. Johns, N.L. – At its annual general meeting today, the Health Care Foundation proudly announced a total of $2,950,589 transferred this year to NL Health Services, supporting critical healthcare initiatives across Newfoundland and Labrador. These funds will continue to drive transformative projects, from next-generation technology and patient comfort initiatives to vital health programs, all designed to elevate the quality and accessibility of healthcare throughout the province.

“Our community’s generosity enables our support to go beyond improving medical care and delivery—we’re investing in life-saving technology, compassionate programs, and healthcare innovations that will impact residents in every corner of Newfoundland and Labrador,” said Paul Snow, President and CEO of the Health Care Foundation. “This past year’s funding empowers us to deliver the kind of care that transforms lives, supporting both patients and the dedicated teams that serve them.”

A major highlight of the 2023-24 fiscal year is a $1.7 million investment in the Cardio-Vascular and Stroke Program, bringing the Health Care Foundation closer to establishing a world-class Cardiac Catheterization Luminary site. These ongoing investments in cutting-edge medical technology, essential diagnostic tools, and impactful community programs highlight the Health Care Foundation’s dedication to building a stronger, more resilient healthcare system for all residents.

“We remain dedicated to supporting world-class healthcare here at home,” said David Jones, Vice-Chair of the Health Care Foundation Board of Directors. “Our collective achievements this year underscore the power of community support and the critical role it plays in our healthcare system.”

Looking ahead, the Health Care Foundation is committed to fostering strategic partnerships and advancing initiatives that deliver both cutting-edge care and compassionate support to those in need.
