Chilliwack shows up for its hospital, year after year. From local businesses to individual families, the people of this city have found countless ways to invest in local health care. Every story below represents real equipment, purchased for Chilliwack General Hospital, because someone here decided this community was worth investing in.
Chilliwack’s business community has stepped up time and again for local health care. The Bannister Automotive Group committed $100 from every vehicle sold toward hospital equipment, while four Chilliwack car dealerships banded together on a sales goal that funded another essential piece of lifesaving equipment. The Visscher Group of Companies made possible the purchase of seven new laparoscopic instruments, giving surgeons at Chilliwack General Hospital better tools for patient care. These partnerships show what’s possible when local businesses choose to reinvest in their own community.
Some of the most heartfelt gifts come from individuals and community organizations who simply want to give back. The Ryder Lake Women’s Institute made a generous donation in recognition of the Foundation’s work, a gesture that reflects the spirit of neighbours supporting neighbours. A $22,000 gift from John O’Connor funded a much-needed ECG machine, allowing physicians to monitor heart health more effectively for patients across Chilliwack. Gifts like these, whether from a longstanding community group or a single generous individual, add up to meaningful change at the hospital.
Each September, our Granting Wishes event brings the community together for an evening dedicated to supporting Chilliwack General Hospital. It’s one of the Foundation’s signature fundraisers, and a chance to celebrate everything this community has accomplished together. Keep an eye on our social media and this website for ticket details as the date approaches.
While everything we raise stays entirely within Chilliwack, we occasionally partner with organizations like the Fraser Valley Healthcare Foundation on specific equipment purchases that benefit our hospital directly. These collaborations don’t change our commitment to local giving. They simply mean that, from time to time, we can bring even more advanced equipment to Chilliwack General Hospital by working alongside others who share our goal.
Every donation to the Chilliwack Hospital Foundation helps bring essential medical equipment to Chilliwack General Hospital, supporting local healthcare teams and improving care for patients in our community. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, the Foundation has helped fund vital equipment that enhances diagnosis, treatment, patient monitoring, and safety across a range of hospital departments.
Each purchase represents an investment in local healthcare and the people who depend on it. We are grateful to every donor, business, and community partner whose generosity helps ensure Chilliwack General Hospital has access to the equipment needed to care for our community, close to home.
