Through the dedicated support from the community, we raise funds for state-of-the-art equipment and enhanced services at the Regional Hospital. Every dollar you give is used to improve health care for the patients of the Regional Hospital

History Of Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation
The Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation has a strong history of financial support from our community.In 1990, the Foundation launched a $6 million fundraising drive to raise $3 million for construction of the Regional Hospital and $3 million for a cancer treatment centre so that the residents of Cape Breton did not have to travel to Halifax for treatment.Since then, the community has continued to generously support the Foundation. Together, we have raised more than $15 million for equipment enhancements at the Regional Hospital.The results are unequivocal: Dramatically reduced wait times and an increased array of important services – closer to home.We are so grateful for each and every gift. Whether they are from corporations, artists, schools, community groups, sports teams, or individuals, each gift makes a big difference. Because you care, lives are forever changed.
