The Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation is the fundraising arm for the Listowel Memorial Hospital. It is committed to raising funds for hospital equipment and education programs that will benefit our professionals, as well as the community and surrounding areas.

Funds are raised through direct mail appeals, major gift solicitations, special events, and grants. A series of fundraising events are held throughout the year to raise funds for hospital equipment. We are very grateful to have the support of our community; countless support from individuals, businesses, services clubs, churches, and other organizations provide the majority of our funding. Donations are made in various forms, for example, in memoriam, in honour, grateful patients, legacy, and estate donations. Thank you once again for the generous support of all those who have contributed to the Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Our board of directors, with input from the Hospital’s CEO, decides which projects the foundation will support that year. Every year the Hospital CEO provides a wish list of capital equipment and expenditures that need funding from the foundation.

The Hospital conducts a very extensive capital planning process involving our healthcare professionals and key stakeholders who prioritize equipment needs for the Listowel site hospital each year. The prioritized list is reviewed with the Foundation and projects are chosen from a range of departments within the hospital.

Here’s our current needs list for 2022.

Yes, the Foundation is necessary. Government funding is not sufficient to cover all of the necessary equipment, technology, services and programs needed by the people of Listowel and its surrounding areas. Because government funding is not enough, the remainder of the funds must be covered by the people who use the services of the local healthcare system. The Foundation is here to facilitate North Perth citizens with the giving of funds and the purchasing of new equipment/technology, replacing existing equipment, and helping to fund programs. We strive to provide our healthcare professionals with the most up-to-date and highest quality equipment to diagnose and treat all the patients at the Listowel site hospital.
