Give today Why we need you

Your support directly impacts the care you and your families get from birth to your golden years and everything in between. When you donate, you fund the tools, spaces, and research needed for better health outcomes, more comfort, and faster healing across Hamilton Health Sciences.

Top-tier excellence in health care is a hallmark of Hamilton Health Sciences hospitals and is made possible in part by our incredible donor community. Your generous gifts bridge the gaps between government-funded operating costs, salaries, and capital project contributions to provide a world-class level of care.
