TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFTS FOR LASTING IMPACT
Women ’ s Health
The Government of Alberta committed a $10 million investment in Calgary Health Foundation to advance women’s health initiatives—expanding access to specialized services, strengthening preventative care, and supporting innovative women’s health research. This five-year investment represented a tangible first step toward removing gender disparity in healthcare practice, policy, research, and care. This support also led to the launch of the annual Women’s Health Symposium, creating a platform to share knowledge in an area that has historically been misunderstood.

Zivot Limb Preservation Centre
Philanthropy has been instrumental in advancing specialized surgical care. In 2016, Dr. Mark Zivot made a $1 million donation to enhance world-class care for patients managing diabetes and vascular disease. The Zivot Limb Preservation Centre at Peter Lougheed Centre brings state-of-the-art diagnostic and vascular assessment technology to patients at risk of limb loss. Since launching in 2023, two fellows have graduated and are now practicing, with another currently training. The addition of the fellowship has increased clinic capacity by 40 to 50 patients per week, meaning more people receive timely, limb-saving care. Thanks to donor support, podiatric surgeons at the Zivot Limb Preservation Centre have reduced diabetes-related major lower- limb amputations by 47 per cent in Calgary.
