Amplifying generosity to advance health care in Pictou County

Thanks to donor generosity, the Foundation invests approximately $2 million each year to further its mission to advance health care in Pictou County.

Our story begins in 1986 as a traditional hospital foundation, funding medical equipment and supporting the continuing education of health care professionals. In recent years, our funding priorities have expanded to include programs that promote health, both in the health system and the community.

The constant that has remained unchanged is the Foundation’s ability to amplify donor generosity, to date $30 million in donations have been received and turned into a continuous funding stream that has contributed $28 million dollars to enhance health care in our community.
