Welcome to The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital.
  
At Guelph General Hospital, lives are changed each and every day. Our dedicated team of caregivers treats illness and injury, provides comfort and support, and, indeed, saves lives.
 
This happens only with the support of our community. Many believe that governments fund health care completely. The reality – here in Guelph and across the country - is that governments only fund a portion of hospital needs. We could not do what we do without your support.
 
In Guelph-Wellington donors have always been an essential part of our Hospital. In 1872, the citizens of Guelph and area raised more than $3,000 to help fund our first Hospital. Built in 1875 at a cost of $9,871, the two storey building had 12 beds and a farm on the property to supply patients with fresh eggs, milk and vegetables.

Much has changed. Today we have medications, technologies and treatments that would have been beyond belief to people of that era. But what they would have recognized is what we’ve preserved—staff dedicated to quality, compassionate care; and donors who continue to play a pivotal role in helping us meet our community’s growing needs.

Every gift – no matter how large or small – makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. If you aren’t already part of our family of supporters, we invite you to join us.
