Our History

“

My greatest takeaway from this is how passionate the board and especially the staff were towards bettering health in the Midwest. It was not just a job to them but their passion.”

Dave Schneider

Starting in 1983, the Foundation has raised money to improve the quality of healthcare in Lloydminster, and around the region, for nearly 40 years. With time and generous donors, the foundation has grown into a community gem and has helped our community healthcare become what it is today.

On November 23, 1983, the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation, known at the time as the Lloydminster Hospital Foundation was incorporated. The first goal was set in 1984 for the build of the new community hospital. The one million dollar campaign was setup to use funds to furnish and equip the new hospital which officially opened in 1988.
