Imagine if we could keep people out of the hospital through prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
Imagine if we could keep people out of the hospital through prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.
What if fewer families had to face a devastating diagnosis? What if heart disease, diabetes and brain health could be changed before it becomes a crisis?
For decades, the University Hospital Foundation has been working with our donors as co-catalysts in bringing world-class hospital treatment and lifesaving care to the city of Edmonton. These efforts have funded incredible advancements in research, hand in hand with state-of-the-art medical equipment and care facilities.
What if our impact extended to the doctors’ offices? In the community? Even at home?
The University Hospital Foundation is strategically expanding our focus to support innovative solutions that make oversized impacts in three key areas.
This new approach targets health where it matters and can make the biggest difference.
See how an integrated approach to health can be transformative. The following funding priorities illustrate how we will change lives through a comprehensive approach focused on prevention, primary and acute care.
Most people think about health care when something serious goes wrong. That is when the system shows up. At the University Hospital Foundation, we are proud to support some of the best hospital and emergency care in the country.
We know we cannot treat our way out of what is coming. Those pressures land most heavily on emergency departments and hospital beds.
The solution is to do something before health issues ever reach this point. By expanding our focus to include prevention and care at home and at the doctors’ offices, hospital visits can be dramatically reduced.
Together, we can rewrite the outcome.
