The Grande Prairie Hospital Foundation is proud to introduce their new brand and website, built to better communicate about how donations from the community take our hospitals from good to great.

“This project has been underway for quite some time, going back prior to COVID-19. We wanted to take our time and ensure the site is built in a way that anyone wanting to engage with us or just learn more about the Foundation can easily do so.” explained Keith Curtis, GPRH Foundation Executive Director.

“To us, we are simply the conduit that connects people’s donations to their hospital. The website focuses on how the community’s donations have historically impacted their hospital, as well as how they can have long term impacts into the future.” added Curtis.

To celebrate the launch the Foundation has included a Pediatric Penguin Scavenger Hunt. Participants will need to visit the new site at www.gphospitalfoundation.ca. Using HINT 1 below they then must explore the site to find the Pediatric Penguin Characters hidden in different locations.

They must then note the location of each of the 5 Pediatric Penguin Characters, then direct message us on Facebook with all the locations. Participants will then be entered into a draw for a gift basket…if they make it to the end they can learn….how to enter the bonus draw for a gorgeous garden planter. Entries will be accepted until July 5th. The draw will happen July 6^th.
