Robert Bessette's Company Details
The University Hospital Foundation was created in 1962 by an act in the Alberta legislature. In the decades since, we have evolved into one of the most successful hospital fundraising organizations in Canada. We raise funds to advance patient care and innovation at the University of Alberta Hospital, the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Kaye Edmonton Clinic. Thanks to your donations, the University Hospital Foundation has raised over $217 million in the past 10 years and that tally is growing every day. Your contributions are literally bringing innovation to life – supporting emerging ideas and technologies that are advancing excellence in patient care, education and research on a daily basis.We are driven to find bold solutions, inspire new ideas, and ignite new discoveries by bringing the right people together and giving them the resources they need to achieve the impossible.Like finding a treatment for Hepatitis B that impacted one-third of the world's population; or creating a way to keep lungs alive outside the human body.
