staff appreciation grants awarded at the annual santa's breakfast

The Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation is an independent organization governed by a hardworking, volunteer Board of Directors whose sole purpose is to raise funds to ensure optimal healthcare for the people who live in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows primarily through the purchase of capital equipment (items between $5,000 and $100,000).

Because of the extreme shortage of funding in healthcare today, the Foundation recognizes that the most urgently needed equipment ends up on the Capital Equipment list with some items on the wish list never qualifying for Foundation funding. The Foundation knows that the frontline staff often have ideas that can make their work so much more effective but the project requires some funding.

The purpose of the Staff Appreciation Grants is to provide that funding (up to $500) to help staff do their job better. Grant applications will be available in September for submission deadline of late October 31. Grants will be awarded in the cafeteria at the staff’s annual Santa breakfast.
