About the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation

Established in 1970, the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation provides a way for town and municipal units, individuals, businesses, and community groups to support the Yarmouth Regional Hospital and its number one priority — building better healthcare.

The Yarmouth Regional Hospital provides specialized care to the more than 58,000 people of  Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Digby Counties. The cost of providing specialized care is greater than available government funding, so that’s why we need your help!

Through the generosity of our donors, the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation has contributed funds towards the purchase of equipment and services that improve the health of families and individuals throughout the Tri-Counites. Equipment purchased includes a CT scanner, portable X-Ray and ultrasound units, infant ventilators and incubators, laparoscopic suites (OR), lab equipment, renal dialysis equipment, and ceiling lifts — not to mention upgrades to the cardiology, cancer, and wellness centers, amongst much much more.

In August of 2021, the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation received the prestigious distinction of accreditation granted by the Standards Program with Imagine Canada.
