- Healthcare Experience Fund
Helping every patient feel cared for
Healthcare is about more than diagnosis and treatment. It's about how you and your loved ones feel when you are with us.
The Healthcare Experience Fund turns community donations into everyday improvements across our hospitals. From updated patient spaces to helpful tools for our nurses and doctors, your support makes hospital visits better for everyone.
Putting your care first
Every visit to the hospital matters. The Healthcare Experience Fund (HCEF) helps make care warmer and more personal for patients, families, and healthcare workers.
Thanks to community support, this fund helps our team introduce practical changes across WRHN hospitals—from comforting patient spaces to modern tools and better communication.
The Healthcare Experience Fund focuses on three key areas to make care better across our entire hospital:
People
Supporting patients, families, and staff with compassionate care and helpful resources.
Quality
Making sure every interaction is safe, clear, and focused on your needs.
Innovation
Bringing new tools and smart ideas into our spaces to improve your stay.
