What We Support 

 Equipment Purchases

Each year, we work in close partnership with Alberta Health Services (AHS), along with the staff and stakeholders of the Devon General Hospital, to help fund vital medical equipment. From everyday tools to advanced technologies, these investments strengthen the hospital’s ability to deliver high-quality care to our community. Whether replacing aging equipment, upgrading existing tools, or introducing new technologies, these purchases are essential to maintaining and improving the level of care patients receive right here in Devon.

 Education Programs

The Devon General Hospital Foundation offers two education funding programs each year to support dedicated individuals who demonstrate strong community citizenship.

 Programs supporting Long Term Care

Long-Term Care offers a variety of engaging programs and activities to enrich residents’ daily lives, with support from the Devon General Hospital Foundation. The Foundation helps fund games, memory-based programs, and arts and crafts, including seasonal and holiday-themed projects.

Residents also enjoy pet therapy visits, live music from local bands, performances by schoolchildren, and special interactive experiences such as petting zoos and animal demonstrations.

The Christmas season is the largest celebration of the year, with gifts for every resident, a festive tea party for residents and families, and holiday decorations, all supported by the Foundation. Additional celebrations throughout the year, including Valentine’s Day and Halloween, are also funded to provide themed activities and costumes for residents.

 Programs supporting staff

Staff Appreciation initiatives focus on recognizing the dedication and compassion of the healthcare professionals who care for our community. Through meals on special occasions and meaningful tokens of appreciation throughout the year, we express our gratitude and support for the devoted staff of the Devon General Hospital.

 Programs supporting patients

The hospital gardens and courtyard offer a peaceful outdoor retreat for patients, families and staff. The foundation provides the flowers and volunteers to maintain them throughout the season. These spaces provide opportunities for relaxation and social interaction, contributing to overall well-being and healing.
