Circle of Life
Join a giving collective making a lasting impact in patient care
What it is?
Circle of Life is The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital’s giving collective. It is a community of engaged supporters who invest together to transform local healthcare.
Who it is for?
This program is for extraordinary community members who want to make a direct and lasting impact on local healthcare through an annual commitment of $2,500+.
Why it matters?
Circle of Life provides the essential funding for high-priority technology and specialized care at Guelph General Hospital, ensuring care teams have the tools they need.
Shaping care
Each December, Circle of Life members gather at our Annual Celebration and vote on one of three special hospital projects to collectively fund. Members hear presentations on three initiatives, each carefully selected by hospital staff for its potential to enhance patient outcomes and bring leading-edge care to our community. These presentations give Circle of Life members a firsthand look at the vision, innovation, and patient impact behind each proposal before they cast their vote.
