MACKENZIE HEALTHFOUNDATION
The communities served by Mackenzie Health are growing and with that growth, the demand for quality health care services is increasing. Mackenzie Health Foundation is at the forefront of addressing this challenge through a multitude of fundraising programs and initiatives. Donor support enables Mackenzie Health to expand facilities, add new services, and equip medical teams to meet the healthcare needs of today and tomorrow.
Moving into 2024, Mackenzie Health Foundation is gearing up for an ambitious year with the bold theme – “Be Part of Something Bigger”. True transformation comes from the collective force of community support. The continued involvement of donors is essential to ensuring a bright future for health care in communities throughout the York Region.
The Foundation is working towards increasing funds and donor commitments to meet the ever-growing needs of the community while supporting Mackenzie Health’s vision to provide a world-class healthcare experience. On the heels of the largest fundraising initiative ever undertaken by a community hospital in Canada, Mackenzie Health is motivated to do even more and to continue providing best-in-class health care services.
While government funding is essential, it often falls short of covering the full spectrum of healthcare costs. Donations are what bridge the gap. The Foundation fundraises through third-party and signature events, in honour, in memory, and monthly gifts, gifts of securities, legacy gifts, partnerships with the business community, and the generosity of individual donors. By engaging our community, Mackenzie Health Foundation ensures continued support allowing Mackenzie Health to invest in state-of-the-art technology, training opportunities for health professionals, expand and improve facilities, launch specialized programs and clinics and meet our ambitions of creating a world-leading healthcare landscape for the people of York Region.
