Who we are

We’re Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN, pronounced “wren”) Foundation, the charitable partner of Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN).
WRHN Foundation represents the coming together of the two fundraising partners of the former hospitals in Kitchener/Waterloo.
We support every patient’s care journey by inspiring and empowering our community to invest in its health in ways that are meaningful to them.
With the help of donors across our community, we’re building a future of healthcare excellence. That means creating a space where care is driven by innovation, delivered with compassion and accessible to everyone.
