Better care, close to home

For too long, the people of northern Saskatchewan have gone without the healthcare they deserve. Overcrowded hospital rooms, aging equipment, and long journeys to distant cities for urgent care have become the norm. We have waited long enough.

Now, the transformation of Victoria Hospital is underway. And with your help, we can ensure it is equipped from the very first day.

We are not just building a hospital. We are building a healthier future. A future where every child, elder, parent, and patient receives the right care, close to home. Where Indigenous patients feel welcomed, respected, and safe. Where our healthcare workers are equipped to save lives and care for patients with excellence.

Your support will strengthen healthcare for all of Northern Saskatchewan.

Reduced Travel And Reduced Wait Times

Victoria Hospital has long served as the Gateway to the North. Yet its facilities, built more than forty years ago, no longer meet the needs of the 150,000 people who rely on them each year. More than 24,000 patients bypass Victoria Hospital annually. Not because they want to, but because beds are full or services are unavailable.

With a 40 percent increase in hospital capacity and Saskatchewan’s first MRI north of Saskatoon, this project is a promise. A promise that families will no longer need to drive hours for cancer treatment. That mothers and newborns will receive care in modern, private birthing rooms. That people facing mental health challenges will find compassionate, specialized support.

Thanks to you, that’s 10,000 fewer harrowing drives, and 10,000 community members receiving care closer to home. This is vital for positive long-term outcomes and keeping families and loved ones nearby during challenging times.

Equip the vic

The Government of Saskatchewan is funding the construction of the new acute care tower. But it is up to us, as a community, to ensure the hospital is fully equipped and ready to serve patients from day one.

This includes everything from diagnostic equipment and operating room tools, to vital signs monitors and specialized maternity and pediatric equipment.

We are raising:

  • $35 million for essential equipment, technology, and patient care tools.

  • $5 million to create a healthcare endowment that supports long-term sustainability and innovation.

Together, we can bring the right tools, technologies, and comforts into every room, for every patient.

“I survived a life-threatening medical emergency thanks to the care I received at Victoria Hospital. Because of generous support like yours, the hospital team had everything they needed to stabilize me. From the CT scan technology to pinpoint my aortic tear to the expertise in the emergency department, donor funds had an impact on my survival every step of the way.”
