Health care close to home, funded by the people who live here.
Your gift buys the equipment and resources that keep care in our community — at Souris Hospital, Colville Manor, and in mental health, home care and public health programs.
More than a hospital foundation.
Unlike most hospital foundations, EKHF supports care right across the region. You can give to our priority needs, or direct your gift to any of the areas below.
See everything we fund →Souris Hospital
A 17-bed community hospital offering inpatient, ambulatory and extended care, including lab and X-ray services.
Colville Manor
Equipment and materials that improve daily life for residents of our long-term care home in Souris.
Mental Health & Addictions
Help for special requests that come with little warning, when someone in crisis needs support quickly.
Home Care
When a senior falls and needs special equipment to stay mobile and independent at home, we help make it happen.
Public Health
Resources that help public health programs reach families and communities across Eastern Kings.
Want your gift to go somewhere specific?
You can direct a donation to a program, department or piece of equipment.
Government covers only part of the cost of medical equipment.
Donors bridge the gap. Requests often come with little warning, and resources always fall short of need. When your family needs care close to home, your community’s gifts are already there.
In 2016 the Foundation and the Province bought a $400,000 digital radiography suite for Souris Hospital. It gives a lower radiation dose and a more comfortable exam. Before it arrived, the hospital did 1,747 X-rays in a single year, so local patients feel the difference every day.
In 2025 donors funded a $125,000 Sysmex blood analyzer that replaced a 19-year-old machine, along with a $65,000 computerized medication station, a new heart monitor and an accessible tub room in recent years.

See our impact →“It’s almost like being home.”
Patients and families across Eastern Kings share why local care matters.
“Souris is our hospital and no other hospital can take its place. There is a community spirit here and that is a big help in your healing.”
“There is something so special about being cared for by friends and neighbours — it’s almost like being home.”
“Supporting the Foundation and all the services they support isn’t an option. It is necessary.”
Every gift stays in Eastern Kings.
From East Point to Morell to Little Pond.
The Eastern Kings region is home to about 7,500 people year-round, and close to 15,000 from May to September when summer visitors arrive. When care is close, families can visit, recovery is easier, and no one has to make the long drive to Charlottetown for routine tests.
When your family needs us, we’re there.
But not without your support.
