Support the Foundation That Supports Your Hospital

The BTHC Foundation’s sole purpose is to enhance the level of care here within our local hospital by providing palliative care, spiritual care, and advanced medical equipment. When you donate to the BTHC Foundation, what does this look like to the care providers at Boundary Trails?

“Its very clear to everyone that works in the hospital that the foundation has, as its primary goal improving the care that people in the community get. They do this by listening to the people that are the care providers. Its instrumental in providing as up-to-date and as good of care as possible to our community.”

Dr. Bryan Kroeker

“The BTHC Foundation funds our program and pays so that myself and another palliative care nurse can work here, but they also help with some of the comforts in the rooms. The Foundation supplies our palliative care rooms with extra furniture. Some of the things like fridges and microwaves so that families and patients can have more of those at-home comforts and spend more time there.”

Blake Doerksen – Palliative Care Nurse

When I look at the list of equipment that they have provided to our unit specifically, in the last two years, I know without a shadow of a doubt that we MUST have their support to be able to do the work that we do here everyday.

Dr. Ladonna Majeau

“The Foundation has funded the refreshments for the cancer care program. Often they are not feeling well. And so we can give them that 7UP or that snack that can make them feel a little better. Without the support of the Foundation, this wouldn’t be possible.”

Jerry Ann Froese – Volunteer Coordinator
