The Hospitals of Regina foundation has been operating since 1987, donating millions of dollars to equipment and those in need of medical care. The three executive directors of Regina’s hospitals — Royce Gill, Regina General Hospital (RGH), Harvey Fox, Pasqua Hospital/Plains Health Centre and Gren Smith-Windsor, Wascana Rehabilitation Centre (WRC), decide to launch a lottery to help fund critically-needed capital items for their hospitals. The Hospitals of Regina Home Lottery giveaway began as an idea. Formerly called the Regina Hospitals Fund Raising Society Inc., the name is changed to Hospitals of Regina Foundation on April 25, 1990.
Before these gentlemen came about, Mary Truesdell’s Home for the Care of the Sick, located in her two-story home, was the first “hospital” to operate in Regina. Before then, people were forced to travel to Medicine Hat for medical care. Situated in what is now part of the downtown core, at the corner of McIntyre and 11th Avenue, Truesdell’s hospital featured six beds — four for men and two for women. Her vision would eventually lead to the development of the hospitals we have today.
The first Hospitals of Regina Home Lottery sold 6,000 tickets through sales in the four hospitals. It raised $180,000. Over the next 30 years, it will raise more than $35 million.
Over 30 years, donors have helped raise more than $165 million that has been invested in a broad range of expanded health care services, education and patient-centred research. We are thankful for humanities kindness.
