RIH Foundation | Holiday Campaign Video

Warning: Tear Jerker!

“The nurses and medical staff in the ICU and 5 North saved my life on multiple occasions. Along with the lifesaving care I received, they showed me patience and kindness in my time of greatest need.” - Laura Drennan.

Laura suffered a life threatening Hemorrhagic Stroke in December of 2019 and spent 4.5 months at Royal Inland Hospital. Thankfully, her medical team was relentless in helping her recover and move forward with her life.

We hope you enjoy Laura's remarkable story, and that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy this holiday season.

RIH Foundation | Gaglardi Family Gift Announcement

On November 3rd, the RIH Foundation announced a transformational gift of $15 million from the Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Foundation to support the Together We Rise campaign and inspire community giving.

This gift is the largest-ever donation received by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, and will allow our hospital to reach heights never imagined. The equipment and programs Royal Inland Hospital will be able to offer because of this gift, will mean not only exceptional patient care, but the ability to attract new physicians and staff to both our hospital and our city.

Thank you to the Gaglardi Family, for loving our community as much as we do.

Thank You Healthcare Heroes

To our healthcare workers, the heartbeat of our community.

Your hard work, your tireless efforts, your willingness to show up day after day to put others before yourselves…it does not go unnoticed and is appreciated beyond measure. We owe you more than we can fathom, and we cannot overcome this pandemic without you.

Thank you, for putting the lives of others before your own, and for persevering even when you are exhausted and feel you have nothing left to give. You are the true meaning of heroes.

RIH Grateful Patient | Mike Hartt

This one really hits the heartstrings for the Aspect team.

From the moment we met Mike and his family, we connected instantly. They are such beautiful, positive people, who we were very honoured to get to know and build a friendship with.

This was the first project the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation ever hired Aspect Film Works for, and since that time we have created an outstanding working relationship that we are very grateful for.

When working with the RIH Foundation, there is never a lack of inspiring stories to tell or incredible people to meet. One of the best parts, is highlighting the healthcare heroes in our community.
