Amazing at the Alex

Honour an Amazing Staff Member

Honour someone who made a meaningful difference in your life while at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Maybe it was a caregiver such as a physician or nurse. Perhaps it was one of our cheerful and helpful support staff in housekeeping or patient transport. When patients or their family members recognize outstanding care through a donation back to our hospital, it is incredibly motivating to all of us.

LOIS HOLE HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN

Transforming Women’s Health: The Power of Community and Innovation at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women

The Lois Hole Hospital for Women continues to drive transformational change in women’s health through the generous contributions of our empowering donor community, passing several notable milestones–while always reaching for new ones.

CK HUI HEART CENTRE

Returning the Favour: Saving Lives One Heart at a Time

As a paramedic, Brent Kelland has done his fair share of saving lives. However, a shocking discovery around the health of Brent’s heart turned him from retired paramedic to patient, just in time for a second chance at life. Thankfully, the CK Hui Heart Centre was able to return the favour of saving his life, in large part due to donor support and the expertise of the centre’s cardiologists.

Eye Institute of Alberta

Beyond Sight: From Ophthalmology to Pioneering Genetic Eye
Disease Research 

The Eye Institute of Alberta plays a pivotal role in advancing and treating vision health, but there is more to it than just treating a person’s sight. Dr. Matthew Benson’s research into genetic conditions impacting vision, sparked by a chance encounter with a young patient, helps to show how vision health is more than just treatment of someone’s ability to see, it is about changing lives and fostering hope in medical innovation.

Alberta Women's Health Foundation

Poised for Progress: Making Strides Towards Equity in Women’s Health

Thanks to the community’s steadfast devotion and significant contributions to a more equitable future for women’s healthcare, the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation (AWHF) has been able to support crucial research into conditions that disproportionately affect women–and is poised to make even more progress.
