About The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital
Together, a healthier community for everyone is a shared vision of Guelph General Hospital and The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital.
With our generous community, we’ll move towards this vision by transforming healthcare through giving.
Our Values Provide Guidance for How We Carry Out Our Work
Integrity
We uphold trust and transparency in our stewardship of each gift we receive and dollar we spend. We are accountable to the highest standards of ethics, and respect the privacy of our donors.
Inclusivity
We value diversity and different perspectives. We strive to create an accessible, safe and welcoming space for all.
Compassion
We treat everyone with kindness. We empathize with patients, their care partners and the Guelph General Hospital team.
Collaboration
We work as a team and with our donors, volunteers, hospital colleagues and other partners to
make our community a stronger, healthier place for all. We match donor passion with impact.
Innovation
We welcome creativity and forward thinking. We believe that small improvements over time make a difference. Also, we embrace big ideas to strengthen our relationships with our donors and meet hospital need.
Community Support is Essential
Donors are an essential part of a Hospital’s healthcare team. They give caregivers the tools they need to diagnose and treat injury and illness.
That’s because patient care equipment is not covered by government funding. The fact is, donors fund all equipment used in the direct care of patients at Guelph General Hospital. They ensure our Hospital can keep pace with on-going patient care equipment needs and invest in the latest patient care equipment and technology to continuously improve the quality and safety of care.
Commitment to Safety and Respectfulness
Consistent with our values, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful space for our team, donors, and volunteers. We communicate in person, in writing or virtually in ways that reflect our values at all times, and expect others to do the same. Accordingly, we will not tolerate any threats or acts of violence, harassment, aggression or disrespectful comments or language.
