About Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation:

Founded in 1976, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation (HHSF) supports health care and research at 12 hospitals in southern Ontario and the Hamilton area. HHSF raises funds and allocates money for new equipment, facilities and research studies. The foundation mainly supports Hamilton Health Sciences, which HHSF reports is the second largest family hospital in Ontario.

In 2015, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation distributed $14.6m to the Hamilton Health Sciences hospital. The hospital was able to use these funds on new research studies, including research on the quality of life for patients, improving the lives of people with disabilities and better cancer diagnosis methods.  To promote research, HHSF also gave research awards to young researchers.

Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation has started a $3m fundraising campaign to open up a Hybrid Operating Suite. It hopes to perform advanced surgeries, like minimally invasive surgeries, at the new centre. HHSF also allocated funds to start 4 new research projects. These projects include a new mobile application to support sick children and better rehabilitation for patients with brain injuries.
