As the year comes to a close and the holiday season fills the air, we want to take a moment to celebrate you, our community of donors.

Your generosity is at the heart of every advancement in patient care at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and its medical centres of excellence: the CK Hui Heart Centre, the Lois Hole Hospital for Women, and the Eye Institute of Alberta. Because of your kindness, we have brought hope and healing to so many lives this year.

Your support empowers and enables healthcare teams to do more. The Royal Alex saves lives every day in Emergency and Trauma care; it is the surgical powerhouse of the province, conducting more surgeries than any other hospital in Alberta, including robotic-assisted surgeries. And these high-tech capabilities are matched only by the Royal Alex’s capacity to deliver skilled care and treatment to our city’s most resilient populations, including those impacted by homelessness, mental health, and addiction.

Our Foundation is proud to fundraise on behalf of this hospital, and the hope and healing it provides to Albertans every day.

This holiday season, I want you to know how truly grateful we are for you. Your donations raise care and treatment for all and shows your commitment to your community—your family, friends, and neighbors. Together, we are making the world a brighter, healthier place, and that is something to celebrate.

From all of us at the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation I wish you health, happiness, peace, and much prosperity. Thank you once more for your support this year.

We look forward to all that we will achieve together in 2025.

With gratitude,

Sharlene Rutherford BPA MBA
President & CEO
Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation
