WHY SHOULD I GIVE?

We all benefit from quality health care. To family, friends, and neighbors this means up to date equipment, efficient diagnosis and treatment available close to home. Your generous donations help us to provide state of the art equipment for our hospital, which in turn makes it easier for us to recruit and retain quality medical staff. The Board of Directors of the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation offers our sincere thanks to the generous individuals, businesses and community organizations that support the Foundation.

Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation is proud to support equipment needs for Kootenay Lake Hospital.  While we strive to keep our administration costs low, these costs are necessary to run the Foundation.  A 5% administration fee is applied to all restricted donations.
