Our Foundation

The Blanche River Health Foundation (BRHF) raises funds for equipment and capital projects at Blanche River Health (BRH) for the Englehart and Kirkland Lake sites.

With limited government funding for these needs, the hospital relies on donations to modernize facilities and equipment.

As a registered charity governed by a volunteer board of directors, the Foundation depends on people's generosity to support essential improvements, enhance patient care and support the hospital’s mission to make healthcare work for you.

Blanche River Health Foundation has initiated a fundraiser to install an Emergency Room Waiting Clock System at the Kirkland Lake and Englehart sites of Blanche River Health. This system will provide real-time updates on wait times, enhancing transparency and communication for patients and their families. This system will improve patient experience by reducing anxiety and uncertainty during emergency visits.

Read more about the waiting clock and see examples here.

The Foundation is encouraging everyone to contribute. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal of $40,000 and a better experience for all who rely on our emergency services.

Let’s work together to make this a reality for our community!
