Making Innovation
Possible
Leading the way
It’s one thing to fund innovation. It’s quite another to make innovation possible.
Creating strategic partnerships with private industry, the public sector and philanthropic community members is just another way the University Hospital Foundation serves as a catalyst for innovation and advances patient care at the University of Alberta Hospital.
Partnerships created since 2015 have led to even greater benefits to Albertans by:
Unlocking the opportunity for more significant funding to researchers
Playing an integral role in the recruitment and retention of leaders
Accelerating new ideas in alignment with our partners in Alberta Health Services

A Machine that Breathes
Less than one-third of donated lungs are suitable for transplantation. The rest are discarded, along with hearts, kidneys, livers and other organs deemed too damaged to transplant. At least that’s how it was before the Ex-Vivo Organ Support System (EVOSS).
