This means delivering quality, compassionate, and timely patient-centered care. It means that everything is focused on patients and community. Above all, it is the people – selfless volunteers, giving donors and dedicated staff – who set Mackenzie Health apart.

MACKENZIE HEALTHFOUNDATION
The communities served by Mackenzie Health are growing and with that growth, the demand for quality health care services is increasing. Mackenzie Health Foundation is at the forefront of addressing this challenge through a multitude of fundraising programs and initiatives. Donor support enables Mackenzie Health to expand facilities, add new services, and equip medical teams to meet the healthcare needs of today and tomorrow.
Moving into 2024, Mackenzie Health Foundation is gearing up for an ambitious year with the bold theme – “Be Part of Something Bigger”. True transformation comes from the collective force of community support. The continued involvement of donors is essential to ensuring a bright future for health care in communities throughout the York Region.
The Foundation is working towards increasing funds and donor commitments to meet the ever-growing needs of the community while supporting Mackenzie Health’s vision to provide a world-class healthcare experience.
