Thank you, Minister @EleanorO_MP, for your support of the Bridge Healing Program. Everyone deserves a safe place to heal, with dignity at the forefront. This is health care reimagined and the human way forward.

Through the Bridge Healing Project, the @jpwcYEG and @rahfoundation are supporting our city’s most vulnerable with safe, stable housing and a community to work towards their long-term goals.

With four Healing Houses already housing over thirty Edmontonians, and two more homes under construction—Bridge Healing is making a real difference across #YEG. Thank you Murray and Taylor for the tour!

A massive thank you to Sue and Kelly O'Connell and Family for their generous donation of $100,000 towards purchasing a new C-Arm for our Diagnostic Imaging department. Through their generosity, this equipment will help us advance patient care at our hospital. 💙

[Sharlene Rutherford @SharRutherford]

Join me in congratulating Tristan on celebrating five years with our organization.

Tristan, your keen eye for detail, innovative problem-solving approach and leadership have been pivotal to our success. On behalf of the whole @rahfoundation team, thank you for all you do.

Priority needs in healthcare aren’t always about robotic-assisted surgical devices or PET CT Scanners -- sometimes it’s simply a drink of water.

[Sharlene Rutherford @SharRutherford]

As the temperature climbs, so too does the chance of heat-related illness. The @rahfoundation provided bottled water for patients at the Royal Alex Emergency Department, Social Work Department, and for distribution across the campus by security teams when the need was evident.

[Sharlene Rutherford @SharRutherford]

I’m grateful for 3 things: first, hospital leadership knew they could bring this request to our Foundation; second, we have funds available because of forward-thinking donors; and third, Artic Chiller echoed our desire to help those in need by providing discounted
water.

Mother's Day holds significance in my heart; it's a cherished moment to celebrate motherhood alongside our children. It becomes even more meaningful when partners like @DennysCanada collaborate with organizations like @WHCCanada in support of essential women's health research.
