It's World Health Day, and because we dig into everything (scalpel, surgeon), we're checking out this year's key messages.
The one that's sticking with us the most?
And maybe it’s because we work so closely with health foundations, but they're who come to mind when we think about the creativity, adaptability, and downright motivation it takes to champion health as a priority in our communities.
So, here are some of our favourite examples of it. 💚
in New Brunswick, Canada is currently building two state-of-the-art units, including a Coronary Care Unit and a unit for obstetrics and newborn care:
in Quebec, Canada is providing more specialized cardiovascular care to women through foundation-funded programs and clinics like CardioF:
in Alberta, Canada supports confidence-building programs like eSim, where healthcare providers can practice so they’re even more comfortable on the floor and in operating rooms:
in the Yukon, Canada supports the growth of local healthcare services like their work-in-progress mental health facility:
in Alberta, Canada supports patient-focused services like the hospital’s Research and Innovation program:
... and the list of health foundations and their accomplishments goes on and on (and we’d love to go on and on, too, but we know you stop reading around 30 seconds in.)
They’re raising awareness and asking for community support:
They're giving people simple, consistent ways to engage and feel like part of a bigger community (side note, rural hospital foundations are particularly good at this):
So, if you're part of a health foundation who's championing community health, just know: We see you and we appreciate all of it.
If there's a chance Rafflebox could make running your healthcare lottery easier (and we think it would), let’s get on a call to review your program and talk efficiency.
