2017-2018 Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation Annual Report
The Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital
is the largest freestanding, comprehensive tertiary rehabilitation hospital in Canada.With nearly 80,000 patient visits every year, our hospital helps patients living with illness, injury or chronic conditions gain or regain their independence.
Thanks to donor generosity, the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital is providing care at the forefront of innovation, helping patients - and their families - in a way no other hospital in Canada does.
Stories of Courage
Our donors help provide Glenrose patients with access to innovative rehabilitation equipment, programs and services needed to reach their goals.
Meet Lana
Recognized as a social butterfly amongst her family and friends, Lana is a vibrant young woman who enjoys bringing people together. In 2014, Lana's life changed dramatically when she was hit at a crosswalk, resulting in a fractured pelvis and a traumatic brain injury, which limited her body movement, memory and communication skills.
Lana's journey brought her to the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, where she worked tirelessly to improve her physical and cognitive skills. She accepted every therapy challenge and continuously pushed herself to do her best.
Our donors continue to help patients like Lana with their recovery by providing access to specialized equipment, programs and services.
Meet Richard & Heather
Married for 29 years, Richard and Heather’s lives changed drastically when Richard was involved in a cycling accident. Richard sustained a fractured face, broken left arm, shoulder, ribs and shattered hand. Four days later, he suffered a stroke.
After spending weeks in intensive care, Richard began his journey at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital where he worked tirelessly to regain his balance, refine his motor skills and relearn how to walk. During his time at the Glenrose, Richard even learned to cycle again and Heather is now joining him on many of his adventures!
Our donors help provide Glenrose patients like Richard with access to innovative rehabilitation equipment, programs and services needed to reach their goals.

Looking to the Future
Message from the Board Chair
Rehabilitation is all about growth. And growth is what keeps the Glenrose at the forefront of rehabilitative patient care.
As you read in our patient stories, there is no one-size-fits-all recovery journey for patients and their families. Together, with our fellow trustees, donors, supporters and stakeholders we proudly fuel thousands of rehabilitation journeys, continue to seek opportunities to improve care and positively shape lives.
In this fiscal year, the Glenrose Foundation supported several programs, facilities and technological advancements at this hospital site. And, as demand for patient care in our province grows, we have committed to several comprehensive funding priorities over the next five years and expect to increase annual revenue
to $5 million by 2023.As we look to the future on several exciting initiatives, we thank you all for your support and contributions. Thanks to you, the Glenrose provides care in a way that no other hospital in Western Canada does, impacting thousands of patients and their families every year.
Sincerely,
David King,
