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.

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.

Trees of Hope 2020 UPdate

Because of your generosity during our Trees of Hope Campaign (2020) , Windy Slopes was able to purchase a Verathon Glidescope Laryngoscope. The Laryngoscope will provide our facility with the most up-to-date technology for airway management solutions for the ER. This laryngoscope has excellent image quality, multiple visualization options with a wide range of available accessories, as well as being compact and portable. This will be valuable for accurate and timely intubation of patients in critical need of airway support. It will also help with education and simulation scenarios, not only for our local physicians, but also for our learners and visiting physicians.

For those of you who attended, I am sure that not even the wind could dampen your enjoyment of the day!

Thank you to all who planned the event and especially to those who participated and taught and shared so willingly of their culture and traditions.
