Thanks to our generous donors, St. Paul’s Foundation supports patients, residents, caregivers, and families at St. Paul’s Hospital, other Providence Health Care sites across BC, and at Providence Living’s long-term care homes. Each year, our donors make it possible to deliver compassionate, innovative care to tens of thousands of people – from newborn babies and their moms to seniors living in long-term care.

St. Paul’s Foundation is a registered charity that raises funds for capital projects, enhanced patient care, equipment needs, teaching, and research and innovation to support compassionate care and improve the lives of patients and residents across BC.

St. Paul’s Hospital is a world-leading academic health science centre located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Through ethical and relationship-based fundraising, the Foundation enables St. Paul’s Hospital to be at the forefront of exceptional care and innovation.

St. Paul’s Foundation also partners with Health Research BC to co-fund research via the Centre for Heart Lung Innovation and the BC Centre on Substance Use.
