ABOUT SUNDRE HOSPITAL FUTURES
The Sundre Hospital Futures Committee was originally designed as a Physician Recruitment and Retention committee. It didn't take long for them to realize there was also a need for providing equipment to improve patient care services. Besides being committed to attracting and retaining health professionals and quality facilities in the community of Sundre, the group has funded several different projects in its relatively short existence.
MISSION STATEMENT - To recruit and retain health care professionals, and to advocate for the full use and eventual replacement of the Sundre hospital.
VISION STATEMENT - Caring, Learning & Donating towards a Healthy Rural Community
PARTNERS WITH WETASKIWIN We are honoured to have partnered with the Wetaskiwin Hospital Foundation. The Wetaskiwin Foundation is an historic board. When the David Thompson Health Trust folded, several hospital groups either joined with an existing foundation, or formed their own. Sundre, Olds and Rimbey chose to join with Wetaskiwin. As such, the Wetaskiwin Foundation looks after all our receipting, handles audits, and reporting to the government through health funding grants.
This experienced group ensures that all donations made to Sundre Hospital Futures STAY IN SUNDRE!
