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.

thank you

The Pincher Creek Health Centre takes great pride in their Ambulatory Care Program which provides testing and procedures being done here in Pincher Creek rather than clients having to go to the cities for the same tests. We service our area as well as referrals from the Crowsnest Pass and Fort Macleod areas. Being able to perform Cardiac Stress testing (CST) is just one of those procedures. The CST testing is instrumental in diagnosing Heart disease, especially in the early stages. Also, it is used to determine the severity of a Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) and the need for further extensive treatment with transfer to the Calgary Cardiac Unit. This is an essential service.

Windy Slopes would like to extend a huge thank you to Pieridae Energy as well as the generous members of our community for making the purchase of our new CST machine possible. We couldn't do it without you! Thank 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.
