Charity Spotlight Series - St. Boniface Hospital Foundation
Today we’d like to spotlight St. Boniface Hospital Foundation and their efforts in raising funds to support excellence in health care and research at St. Boniface Hospital in a manner that is guided by the legacy and values of the Grey Nuns. This charity was selected by Kelly of Lily Stone Gardens - one of our Camp Rover Conference 2024 Flower Friend Panelists.
If you didn’t already know this is something we do with each speaker we bring on; we want to give back to causes that matter to the people that matter to us.

What are the biggest challenges that St. Boniface Hospital Foundation face?
“Building on Strengths in a Context of Change – the focus of our strategic plan – is fitting for this time in the life of St. Boniface Hospital. A new chapter began for our organization in the early part of 2019 when the Board of Directors chose to launch an inclusive and iterative strategic planning process. We now have a map of our new landscape and a bold way forward set for the next three years.
Working within an ever-changing context asks all of us to be agile and so must our plan evolve and change as we take into account emerging opportunities. Let the launch of this strategic plan be a springboard to renew our passion and energy to serve our community with excellence in all that we do and a spirit of compassionate care – always.” - Martine Bouchard President & CEO St. Boniface Hospital
