Our story began in 2008 with the initial establishment of the ‘Our Wellness Foundation,’ which was later relaunched and reinvigorated in 2011 under the new name of the Canberra Hospital Foundation. Though we’ve grown substantially in the past decade, our aim has always remained the same – to provide support to public hospitals in Canberra to help provide a caring, world-class health and healing service for patients, their families and carers. We share Canberra Health Services' vision "creating exceptional health care together" because we work tirelessly to provide support so that exceptional health care is created every day. Exceptional health care for us is when every person (patients, families, carers, and staff) experiences the highest quality health care that is advanced by research, innovation and knowledge - delivered with comfort, hope and understanding.
