Windy Slopes Health Foundation

Who We Are

A Part of Pincher Creek

Windy Slopes Health Foundation raises funds in support of vital priority health care equipment needs and programs delivered at Pincher Creek Health Centre. We’re here to enhance local health care for all of us in Pincher Creek and district. Our volunteer Board of Directors all live in the community. As stewards of donated dollars, we ensure your gifts are used wisely.

On behalf of local caregivers, the foundation thanks you for helping us see that Pincher Creek and district residents continue to receive the finest quality health care services available.

tim hortons smile cookie donation 2021

Once again the generosity of our community has overwhelmed us.

In September, Tim Hortons held their annual Smile Cookie Campaign. Thoughtful people in our community purchased cookies (approximately 1700 cookies!!) with the proceeds being donated to Windy Slopes.

We would like to thank everyone who purchased cookies, and a HUGE thank you to Mark Nelson and his team at our local Tim Hortons for their continued support of our foundation.

Trees of Hope Campaign 2021

Our Trees of Hope Campaign has drawn to a close and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all who generously donated this year.

To date we have raised $33,294.20 with a few donations still rolling in. This amount far exceeded our goal of $25,000.00 and once again we were overwhelmed with the generosity of our community.

Because of your donations, Windy Slopes will be able to purchase Consumables for the Novasure® Endometrial Ablation Treatment. The purchase of these consumables will help to faciliate Dr. Krushels Gynecological work at the Pincher Creek Health Centre.

Thank you again for your support. We appreciate each and every one of you.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Windy Slopes is in the process of updating our donor database!

We would be so appreciative if you would be willing to provide us with your current email address. If we have your email address on file you have the option to have your tax receipts and any updates emailed to you. You will still have the option to have your receipts mailed through Canada Post.

Windy Slopes is doing this update in an effort to be more cost effective with the rising prices of Canada post mail-outs.

Please feel free to send us your email address to windyslopespc@gmail.com or through private message on Facebook.

Thank you so much for your help. We look forward to hearing from you.

Exciting news

On May 17, 2021, Alberta Health Services announced that funds would be spent on the purchase of a new CT Scanner for the Pincher Creek Health Centre. Funds will also be utilized for the cost of renovations to provide space for the new Scanner as well as operations.

We at Windy Slopes are so pleased that AHS and the Province are moving ahead with this initiative. It will be an amazing addition to the Health Centre and be able to provide elective scans to the people of our community and surrounding areas.

We would like to sincerely thank Lindsay Rypien, Site Manager and Dr. Gavin Parker for all the hours of hard work that have been put into getting this project off the ground! We would also like to thank the Town of Pincher Creek, The Municipal District of Pincher Creek as well as our very own Windy Slopes Board of Trustees who collaboratively worked together to help make this project possible for the citizens of Pincher Creek, MD of Pincher Creek and surrounding areas.
