About Grand River Hospital Foundation:

In 1995, Freeport Hospital Foundation and Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital Foundation merged to become Grand River Hospital Foundation (GRHF). GRHF fundraises for Grand River Hospital, to be used for patient care, equipment needs, capital building projects and renovations, and local clinical and health research and education.

Grand River Hospital Foundation reports that one of its fundraising priorities is its Freeport Campus, a rehabilitative care center that offers specialized services for the community. GRHF also reports that its Freeport Campus needs a new Patient Wandering System to protect patients at risk of wandering. GRHF’s other fundraising priorities include childbirth and children’s services, cancer programs and surgical programs.

In F2016, Grand River Hospital Foundation provided $5 million in grants to Grand River Hospital.
