December News

As the year comes to a close, we want to remind you that cheques dated December 31 will qualify for a charitable tax receipt for the 2025 tax year.

Donations can be made in several ways:

• Online on our website
• By e-transfer to ar@whcfoundation.com
• By cheque mailed (4405 South Park Drive, Stony Plain, AB, T7Z2M7)

Your generosity directly supports vital equipment, programs, and care for our community. Thank you for considering a year-end gift.

Earlier this month, our community came together for Giving Tuesday, and we were reminded of just how powerful local generosity can be. Giving locally strengthens the whole community, and we are grateful to be part of such a caring network.

At WestView Health Foundation, we are especially thankful to call the Family Connection Center home. Having our office within the Center means we are surrounded every day by organizations doing meaningful, hands-on work that supports individuals and families across our region.

We were proud to stand alongside several incredible groups who embody the spirit of Giving Tuesday:

Alberta Parenting for the Future

Located in the Family Connection Center, they offer programs for youth, parents, and families that build stronger connections and healthier homes. They’re currently running a 50/50 raffle — tickets are just $1 each and can be purchased directly at the Family Connection Center. Every ticket supports family-focused programs in our community!

Kingsmen & Kinettes Annual Toy Drive

Their annual toy drive once again brought the community together to help create special Christmas moments for local children. Donation boxes throughout the region, including at the Family Connection Center, were filled with generosity.

Warm Hearts Need Coats

Have coats, snow pants, boots, or other winter gear you’re no longer using? Drop off your gently used items at the Family Connection Center to help keep our neighbors warm this season.

Every act of giving counts — whether it’s a ticket, a toy, or a winter coat. Let’s show up for each other today and all season long.

Delivering a little Christmas cheer to the amazing team at WestView Health Centre!

Huge thank you to The Pretzel Shack, Kick-Ass Caramels, and Save-On-Foods for the delicious treats — they were a big hit with the team!

We were also lucky enough to catch up with one of our incredible healthcare heroes, whose dedication makes such a difference in our community every day.

Wishing all our healthcare teams a joyful and well-deserved holiday season.

Excitement has been building since we announced the need to fundraise for a CT scanner at WestView Health Centre, and early planning for this important project is now underway.

We have already taken key steps to help ensure this critical diagnostic tool will serve our entire diverse community, beginning with the completion of a Feasibility Study. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who participated and shared their insights during this meaningful first phase.

Your support has helped lay the groundwork for our $5.1 million Capital Campaign. As planning continues, we are thankful to have such strong community support behind this initiative and look forward to sharing more updates as the project moves ahead in the new year.

Warm holiday wishes to all of our WestView Health Foundation supporters and partners!

As the year draws to a close, we want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you. Your generosity, trust, and partnership are the reason WestView can keep caring for our community with compassion, dignity, and excellence. Whether you’ve donated, volunteered, sponsored, shared our message, or simply cheered us on—you’ve made a real difference in the lives of patients and families across our region.

This season is about connection and hope, and you are a vital part of both. Because of you, our teams have the tools to provide comfort in hard moments, celebrate recoveries, and strengthen local health care for the future.

From all of us at WestView Health Foundation, we wish you and your loved ones a holiday filled with peace, warmth, and joy. May the new year bring good health, bright moments, and continued community spirit.

With sincere gratitude and holiday cheer,

WestView Health Foundation
