THE POWER OF GRATITUDE These are not abstract investments. These are places where real people receive care — where families sit in waiting rooms, where difficult conversations happen, and where hope begins again. Heroes in Health reminds us that gratitude is powerful. A single moment of exceptional care can inspire a gift. That donation can fund new equipment, new programs, and new spaces. And those improvements, in turn, empower healthcare teams to continue going above and beyond for the next patient who walks through the door. If someone made a difference in your health journey, honour them. Share your story, write your note, make a gift in their name. Because when gratitude becomes action, it benefits the future of healthcare for all of us.

Heroes in Health is an initiative that invites patients and their families to acknowledge their healthcare heroes and donate to Calgary Health Foundation in thanks for the care they received.
At the Richmond Road Diagnostic and Treatment Centre, the Klassen Bellusci Precision Kidney Clinic delivers state-of-the- art care for patients living with complex kidney disease, providing specialized treatment closer to home, thanks to the support of donors. And at Sheldon M. Chumir Health Centre, the Elbow River Healing Lodge manages the only Indigenous-focused primary care clinic in Calgary. Its team works to support the healthcare needs of our Indigenous communities and make healthcare accessible, welcoming, and culturally appropriate.
If you or a loved one received excellent care, donate and nominate your healthcare hero.
