Keeping Cape Bretoners Home for Care
The Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation is the non-profit, charitable organization responsible for raising the funds needed to purchase new equipment and complete enhancements at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, since 1991, the Foundation has raised more than $15 million in support of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. This dramatically reduced wait times at the Regional Hospital, increased the specialized services available at the Regional Hospital and has provided the equipment doctors and nurses need to provide the best care to their patients at home in Cape Breton.
