About The Spirit Of The North Healthcare Foundation

The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation began its journey on June 18, 1991. Originally established as the Prince George Regional Hospital (PGRH) Foundation, our founding president was Myron Sambad. We are an entity formed under the Societies Act, directed by a committed Board of Directors.

Our primary objective is to enhance the quality of healthcare within the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC) service area - we work to provide ways for individuals and groups from across the Region to contribute meaningfully. The generosity we've seen from our community over the years has been nothing short of inspiring!

what we do

We strive to foster a collaborative environment with our donors, healthcare partners, and the Northern Health Authority. Our efforts extend throughout the Northern Region, primarily in the area served by the University Hospital of Northern BC, and span over 130 additional facilities. These are located across the Northern Interior, including Prince George, Northwest (Terrace), and Northeast (Fort St. John), along with numerous locations in between.

Since our foundation in 1991, we have been instrumental in contributing over $40 million towards essential needs! This funding has helped improve capital equipment, enhance facilities, and support the ongoing education of healthcare professionals and medical staff. We are so excited about the future, and the difference we can continue to make, together! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your generosity.

In The North, For The North

better healthcare means more time spent with who we love, where we live

While the majority of our funding supports the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC), our biggest facility, our influence doesn't stop there. Since broadening our mandate in 1998, we've provided grants and funded initiatives across northern British Columbia.

We're committed to strategically deploying our resources to honor our donors' intentions and maximize community health benefits. Our aim is to enhance the well-being of people throughout our region, making a difference through the generous support of our community.
