DonateYour Donations Make all the Difference
Donating to the Medicine Hat & District Health Foundation is one of the best ways to see the direct impact of your generosity – and we are proud to say that 100% of the funds go back into local healthcare initiatives. From new lifesaving equipment, to cutting-edge training and research, to the simple comforts of quiet spaces where families can spend time together, all of the funds donated help improve the quality of healthcare at our hospital – and ultimately, in our community.

Bassinets for Babies
The bassinet manufacturer for the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital has enhanced its safety features, and we are upgrading our supply.
Current Needs
Greatest Needs
- Pharmacy Refrigerator (≈ $10,000) due to changing regulations and policies more refrigerator space is required for important and controlled medications.
- Lab centrifuge ($7,100)- the collection site requires this refrigerated centrifuge to process some specialized blood samples that used to be collected in the hospital setting. With Covid-19 keeping people out of hospital unnecessarily has become very important.
- Ultrasound Probe Storage Cabinet ($6,000)- with an increase of infection prevention and control measures as well as an expanded area it is necessary to have an additional storage cabinet for ultrasound probes to remain sterile.
- Recliners for parents on the Pediatric floor ($1,800) – if your child is in hospital it is really exhausting and stressful for mom and dad. A comfortable recliner to snuggle your sick child will help just a little.
Children’s Health
- Jaundice meters ($7,300 each) 3 are needed for Community heath and 1 for MHRH to test newborn babies for jaundice instead of sending them to the lab for a needle.
- The old meters are at end of life and are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
Mental Health
- Beds for 5N (≈$8,000 each) The current beds on our mental health unit are crank beds and not electric. We would like to upgrade the entire unit to more comfortable and safe electric mental health beds. This would benefit both the patients who are healing and the staff who provide care.
Seniors Health
- Exercise Mat Table ($6,300). This piece of equipment is very important on 2N to help with rehabilitation. The current table no longer moves up and down and therefore needs to be replaced
