Message from our leadership
Thirty years of healthcare advancements—because of you. The origin of Calgary Health Foundation goes back to 1996, with a bold and enduring vision: to relentlessly advance healthcare, wellness, and research for the people of our community. That year, six of Calgary’s individual healthcare foundations came together to form Calgary Health Trust—what would later be renamed Calgary Health Foundation. This amalgamation marked the beginning of a powerful collective effort, rooted in the belief that when a community unites around healthcare, extraordinary things are possible.
Thirty years later, that belief continues to guide everything we do.
Over the past three decades, Calgary Health Foundation has worked alongside generous donors, dedicated healthcare teams, and visionary partners to help redefine what is possible for healthcare in our city. Together, we have supported breakthroughs in research, invested in lifesaving equipment and technology, enhanced patient care, and strengthened the healthcare system that so many people rely on in their most vulnerable moments. Our 2025–2026 Annual Impact Report not only highlights what we have achieved together over the past year, but also celebrates the collective impact of the last 30 years. Since our establishment in 1996, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have raised more than $650 million to support healthcare locally. These dollars have helped transform care, improve outcomes, and offer hope to countless patients and families across our community. At the heart of this impact are people—patients whose lives have been changed, healthcare professionals empowered to deliver extraordinary care, and donors who believe deeply in the importance of a strong, compassionate health system. Every donation, no matter the size, plays a meaningful role in shaping better care and brighter futures. As we reflect on 30 years of impact, we are filled with gratitude and with optimism. The challenges facing healthcare continue to evolve, but so does our resolve. With your continued support, we are confident that together we can build healthier communities, drive innovation, and create lasting impact for generations to come. Thank you for being part of this transformative journey over the past 30 years. We are deeply grateful for your support and inspired by what we can achieve together in the next 30!
With gratitude,
Rob Peabody Board Chair
