About KLH Foundation
The Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation is governed by a group of dedicated volunteers whose purpose is to raise funds for the medical needs of our community hospital. The Board of Directors consists of 14 directors who each serve a 3-year term.
Our directors bring to the Board a variety of backgrounds offering their unique skills and talents to ensure the Foundation’s success.
The Foundation Board is a working Board elected by its members. Directors and members serve on various committees such as the Events Committee, Golf Committee, Community Relations Committee, or the Finance Committee. All directors and members contribute their time and effort without any payment or benefit other than the satisfaction of contributing to the community.
For many years the Foundations Wall of Honour has adorned the KLH lobby and until last week it was covered with small brass plaques recognizing special donations and memorials. There were so many they were hard to read and it may have lost it’s effectiveness. Well it’s a small lobby and a small wall space and donors are growing every day so it’s time for a change. A current change, an interactive change, an engaging change. The plaques have been saved and anyone who was honoured on that wall can pick up their own plaque to include as a keepsake and look for how their name will be displayed on the new wall.
