History

The Claresholm and District Health Foundation was established in 1999 to raise, receive and manage funds.  The purpose is to assist in improving the quality of rural health care by providing non-standard equipment and assistance with building improvements.  We like to think of it as 'aiding excellence.'

Since the Foundation's inception, it has provided in excess of $750,000.00 in equipment to the benefit of our community. 

Those funds are derived from a variety of sources including grateful patient gifts, planned giving, fundraising, sponsorship by businesses and individuals, service clubs and association grants, and investment revenue.  ALL FUNDS RAISED HERE STAY HERE..
