The Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation announced a generous donation from a local couple who have put forward $100,000 towards cardiac care in southern Alberta. The ‘Bringing Hearts Home’ campaign has a goal of raising $30 million between September of 2024 until the winter of 2027, to bring in leading-edge cardiac care to southern Alberta.
The donors, Karen and Dr. Troy Basarab, say their immediate family are no strangers to cardiac health issues; and after moving together to Lethbridge years ago, they wanted to find a way to give back.
With this donation, the ‘Bringing Hearts Home’ campaign has raised $16.8 million dollars to date. The foundation plans to use the donations for equipment including cardiac scanners, a new cardiac catheterization lab and expanded cardiac ICU capacity.
