Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation Information

Incorporated in 2001, the goal of the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation is to provide enhanced patient care at Boundary Trails Health Centre (BTHC), through the purchase of advanced medical equipment and supporting unique hospital programming. BTHC is a regional hospital in southern Manitoba that provides patient care to a growing population of over 220,000. In collaboration with the BTHC Director of Health Services, the Foundation Board funds the purchase of medical equipment that augment the services available at BTHC and complement the skills and disciplines of our physicians. The innovative Palliative Care program at BTHC, the first of its kind in the Southern Health region, provides high quality, personalized care for patients with terminal illness and short timelines. The Foundation provides wage support for nursing staff and a volunteer coordinator for this program. The BTHC Chaplaincy program is also supported by the Foundation along with education initiatives and continuous learning opportunities for BTHC staff.
