Message from the President & CEO

By deciding to make a gift – you make a difference.

Every day, life and death stories are played out at our hospital. Every day, someone’s life is changed for better or worse or they may receive news of an uncertain future. The staff and physicians at PRHC are kind, compassionate and experts in the care they deliver. I don’t want them to be limited in any way by the equipment and technology they have to work with. Your gift, combined with those of our other generous donors, allows us to give our ‘angels in disguise’ the tools they need to ease pain, restore health and the happiest ending of all – to save lives.

It is only through the combination of public funds and private donations that our hospital will continue be well-equipped to serve you, your family and your friends when you need it most.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Donors make the difference

As medicine advances, so does our opportunity to deliver better patient care. While new technology offers significant promise, it comes at a high price.

While the Government plays a critical role in hospital funding - financing up to 85% of PRHC’s operating budget - government funding simply isn’t sufficient to meet the escalating need for state-of-the-art technology and new medical equipment.

PRHC relies on donor support to ensure its talented staff & physicians can continue to provide quality healthcare in our community. In recent years, our donors have funded more than 50% of the new equipment bought by PRHC.
