What Happens When You Care Enough To Give? 

You Change Lives.  

The Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation has been supporting healthcare in Colchester and East Hants since 1988. Our priority has always been to fund equipment and patient care enhancements for our community, so that everyone has access to the healthcare they deserve.

We are governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of active community members who take a leadership role in the direction and success of the Foundation.

The Foundation raises funds through a variety of special events and annual campaigns, as well as planned and major giving. We have made gifts totalling more than $13 million to the Colchester Regional Hospital, $26.1 million in support of the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, plus an additional $1 million for the MRI program in Diagnostic Imaging.

As we continue to raise funds to continue the purchase of life-changing and life-saving equipment, we rely on the support of our generous donors and businesses in our community… we are truly rooted in community support.

Thanks to donors like you, throughout the course of the 2023-2024 fiscal year the Foundation made funding commitments totalling more than $1,800,000. 

Kohltech Employees Help Fund Cardiac Care

The Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation (CEHHCF) is excited to announce a generous donation from Kohltech employees, made through their Employee Giving Program. Their contribution funded an Echo Flex Ultrasound Bed for the new Cardiac Rapid Response Clinic, an essential piece of equipment that enhances patient comfort, improves diagnostic imaging, supports sonographer safety, and is equipped for emergency situations. This donation will have a lasting impact on both patient care and staff well-being.

“Kohltech is grateful to support many charitable organizations within the Colchester community. We also wanted to provide an easy way for our employees to do the same, and many years ago launched a program where employees can opt in to a weekly payroll deduction that makes it easy to budget their charitable giving. We selected the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Foundation as an organization that each of our employees or their family or friends will rely on at some point. The CEHHCF has universal appeal, and we have a very high rate of participation in this program.” - Kohltech President, Carl Ballard.

These items are vital to bringing life-saving cardiac care to our community, reducing the need for patients to travel to Halifax for specialized testing. With your help, we can bring these services closer to home, provide faster diagnoses, and improve patient outcomes.

Please consider making a donation today to help us reach our goal. Join businesses like Kohltech in making a lasting impact on our community—consider making a corporate gift or starting an employee giving program to support local healthcare and help us reach our goal for the new Cardiac Rapid Assessment Clinic.

Your support can save lives and make a real difference in our community.
