The Hospital



Our physicians and staff are so grateful for the incredible support we receive from the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation.
It is almost impossible for a patient to enter Chinook Regional Hospital without benefitting in some way from
equipment or improvements to our facilities made possible by the Foundation.

Bringing Hearts Home | Awareness Event at The Pin!

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sid Tams and the owners of The Pin in Taber for hosting a wonderful awareness evening in support of the Bringing Hearts Home Campaign!
 
By bringing together community supporters and generously providing supper for all attendees, the evening was made even more special with Dr. Sayeh Zielke sharing an update on the campaign's progress.
 
Events like this are a powerful reminder of how our community comes together to help bring hearts closer to home. 
 
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to raising awareness for this important cause!
