The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation

The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation was created to provide meaningful opportunities for people to contribute in improving health care within the service area of the University Hospital of Northern BC, Prince George. The community has responded in a very generous way.

Since the inception of the Foundation (June 18, 1991) more than $21 million has been raised through events, lotteries and donations from corporations, foundations and the citizens of our communities. The funds have been used to assist with the purchase of capital equipment and improvements and support of education of health care employees and medical staff.

They believe there is a spirit in the North which drives us to succeed - to determine our own well-being and sense of community.

The BC Cancer Agency's Centre for the North – the Agency’s sixth regional centre – will be built in Prince George and will provide better access to cancer care for all Northerners. As the BC Cancer Agency’s fundraising arm and as BC’s leading cancer research and care charity, the BC Cancer Foundation will be part of the new centre when it opens in 2012.

The Centre for the North will be located adjacent to the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC) and will bring together a team of care providers with an interdisciplinary, patient-centered approach to care.

The Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation, a volunteer organization, was formed to increase and improve medical care by encouraging individual, corporate and community support.

Funds raised by the Foundation are used for the purchase of diagnostic, medical and other equipment. By enhancing the scope and quality of medical services available at Mills Memorial Hospital, the health needs of our residents and of the neighbouring areas, can be addressed locally, thereby eliminating costly referral to the lower mainland.
