Your Gifts At Work

When our healthcare facilities thrive, we all benefit

Did you know that more than 500 people work at either Portage District General Hospital, Douglas Campbell Lodge, and Regency House? They call this region “home,” and they have a direct stake in its prosperity. Also, did you know that the hospital admitted more than 28,000 emergency patients last year – about 4,000 of which were children?

Our healthcare facilities impact everyone who lives here not only those who receive care, but employees who provide it. At one point or another, we all use these facilities.

Your gift, no matter the size, is an investment in your community, your family, and even yourself.

A better place to work

All healthcare staff, benefit from the availability of new, high-quality medical equipment. We want Portage la Prairie and the catchment area to be both a destination of choice for job-seekers and a place where existing personnel can put down roots. We’re passionate about our community, and by equipping healthcare workers with the resources they need, we’re able to expand that enthusiasm.

Every gift makes a difference

“The hospital foundation is a vital part of our hospital and the hospital is a vital part of our community.  As a community we need to support it and we love to support it.”
