Grande Prairie Regional Hospital Foundation

Together, we’re enhancing healthcare in our region.

We are proud to create and support a variety of initiatives that bring comfort, care, and connection to patients and families across our region. Through our amazing donors, we help make a difference through programs and projects including:

🦋 Butterfly Therapeutic Clown Program: Helps minimize the stress for our young patients and their families during treatments, while having medical procedures, or to fill the time while family members wait for a loved one to have surgery.

🎄 Festival of Trees: Brings our region together for a weekend of magic in support of healthcare initiatives.

🏡 Ken Sargent House: Creating a home away from home for families travelling to Grande Prairie for medical care.

Each initiative reflects the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and partners who believe in making healthcare better for everyone. Thank you for helping us create a healthier, more compassionate region. 💙

Sometimes it's the compassion of a healthcare professional that stays with us long after a hospital visit. It could be a reassuring smile, a few kind words during a difficult moment, or the exceptional care they provided when you or someone you love needed it most.
