Our Pender Harbour Health Centre conducts over 18,000 patient visits a year across all the medical services we provide. We are so proud and privileged to support the health of our community, saving our patients from thousands of hospital visits, and providing excellent care right here, close to home.
The PHHC has been providing care to the community since 1976 (49 years) and we have relied on the goodwill and generosity of the community to help us keep the doors open, launch new programs and services, maintain and renovate the building and make the upgrades needed to ensure we can continue to provide the highest levels of care.
Given we are a community led not for profit organization, we do rely on the support from our community to operate and continue to provide the services we do. Although the PHHC is always open to receiving donations at times we may run focused fundraising campaigns to help us raise the funds for a specific project, purchase or program. You can find information about these fundraising campaigns on this page.
Previous PHHC Fundraiser
The most recent PHHC fundraising initiative was the Health in the Harbour Fundraiser. The Health in the Harbour Fundraiser launched in 2022 and aimed to raise $1.3 million to enable us to make improvements to air and ventilation systems, install new flooring, create new accessible washrooms and treatment spaces and upgrade aging equipment. To date this fundraiser has raised over $700,000 dollars.
It was decided in early 2025 by the PHHC Board of Directors that we would officially end the Health in the Harbour fundraiser on May 1st, 2025. The Board and Health Centre leadership felt that after three years and over $700,000 raised the fundraiser had run its course. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those in the community who have donated funds to the Health in the Harbour Fundraiser since 2022. As a community-led non-profit organization we rely on the support of our community to operate and keep our building safe and accessible, thank you for this amazing support.
To date the fundraising campaign has raised $704,395 and we have used these donations on the following projects:
- Contribution to the new accessible washrooms and flooring (2024)
- Primary care wing upgrade (2025)
