Ways to Give
There are many ways to support us. Let us help you find your way.

Be Vital Today!

Every gift has an impact.

Your support is vital. Please donate today!

Each year, in consultation with senior teams across Hamilton Health Sciences, we identify a list of vital equipment and patient amenities for which funding is needed on a one-time or ongoing basis.  

We call these our highest priorities and they can include equipment like: ventilators, beds, ultrasound machines, IV poles, incubators, walkers, wheelchairs, surgical equipment, rehabilitation equipment and so much more. 

You can donate to support our highest-priority needs, or designate your gift to a specific hospital or program.
