Believe it. We'll save lives

Driven to find bold solutions

Transforming health

We are driven to find bold solutions, inspire new ideas, and ignite new discoveries by bringing the right people together and giving them the resources they need to achieve the impossible. Like finding a treatment for Hepatitis B that impacted one-third of the world’s population or creating a machine that keeps lungs alive outside the human body.

The University Hospital Foundation are catalysts for change. Advocates for innovation. Together we will transform health in Alberta – and around the world. Believe it.
