YOUR IMPACT
The generosity of our community enhances Mackenzie Health’s ability to provide our patients and their families with innovative and compassionate care that is close to home.
On behalf of donors last year, the Foundation was able to grant nearly $1.9 million for much-needed patient care enhancements at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, as well as set aside $5.8 million in committed gifts for the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital.
Your gifts purchased new bedside monitors for Emergency, IV infusion pumps to administer patient medications, BiPap respiratory machines to assist patients breathing when they cannot on their own and the refurbishment of the patient and family lounge in palliative care.
