1996 of 30 year 2026
Before 1996, hospitals, continuing care sites, and community health programs in Calgary were each supported by separate foundations. Every organization played a meaningful role, but there was an opportunity to achieve even greater impact together. As Chair of the Calgary Regional Health Authority, Bud McCaig recognized the power of a unified approach. He brought six foundations together to form Calgary Health Trust, aligning generosity across the city and creating a shared vision for advancing care. Community leaders embraced the belief that supporting healthcare was not just admirable, it was a responsibility. Their collective commitment laid the groundwork for something far bigger than any one organization. Calgary Health Trust would later become Calgary Health Foundation. That spirit of collaboration continues to define us today. Because of donors—past and present—innovation is accelerating, care is improving, and people across Southern Alberta are living healthier, fuller lives.
