Community Care Foundation of Edson and District

National Nursing Week has been a meaningful reminder of the incredible compassion, strength, and care nurses bring to our community every single day.
In some of life’s hardest and most overwhelming moments, nurses are often the calm, steady presence families remember most.
To all the nurses caring for patients and supporting families across our community thank you. We are deeply grateful for everything you do.

We are so grateful to the Edson Royal Canadian Legion #51 for their generous $2,000 donation to the Community Care Foundation of Edson & District. As the location of our annual Fashion Show fundraiser, they helped bring our community together. With this contribution, they’re continuing to be part of something bigger.
Support like this helps move important projects forward, including our goal of bringing a CT scanner to Edson and ensuring care is closer to home for our region.
Thank you for showing up for this community 💛

A CT scanner isn’t just equipment; it means faster diagnoses, fewer trips out of town, and care closer to home.

Have you or someone you love had to travel out of town for a CT scan? We know many in our community have. If you’re open to sharing your experience, we’d love to hear your story in the comments or by message.

If you would like to donate to the CT Scanner Campaign, you can do that here

Right now, residents of Edson, Jasper, Whitecourt, and surrounding communities often need to travel hours for a CT scan.That means time away from family, added stress, and delays in diagnosis when every moment matters.We are working to change that.The Community Care Foundation of Edson and District....

The Community Care Foundation has been lucky to have a few of our incredible volunteers featured in the Town of Edson’s Community Spotlight series recently. We’re so proud to see Lori, Bradley, and Eva recognized for the time, heart, and energy they give to our community. This kind of dedication is what makes real impact possible.

To these three, and to every single volunteer who supports the Foundation in big and small ways, thank you. You are the reason we’re able to keep moving projects forward and improving care close to home.

This is the kind of equipment the Community Care Foundation has helped bring to our hospital.

The Medtronic NIM Monitor works behind the scenes during surgery, helping surgeons locate and protect important nerves in real time. It reduces the risk of complications and helps make procedures safer for patients.

It’s not something most people will ever see, but it’s exactly the kind of technology you want in place when it matters most. Real equipment. Real impact. Right here in Edson.

In Edson and area, we are incredibly fortunate to have healthcare professionals who go above and beyond. From doctors and nurses to healthcare aides, paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists, dentists, chiropractors, and more, each one plays a role in caring for our community.
We know many of you have a story. A moment when someone took the time, made you feel heard, or was there when it mattered most, share it in the comments so we can celebrate them together.

Let’s take the time to recognize the people who care for our community every day!

The 3rd Annual Fashion Show came together because of an incredible group of sponsors, vendors, volunteers, models, and so many others working behind the scenes. Your time, energy, and support made the night what it was. It’s not lost on us that this only happened because of the people who stepped up in big and small ways, and we’re so grateful to be part of a community that shows up like this.

So thank you to everyone who helped in any way. Whether you donated, gave your time, walked the runway, shared a post, attended, or told a friend, it all made a difference.

Thank you.
