Our Story
The Queens General Hospital Foundation was born out of a collaborative effort to keep Queens General Hospital open.
Established in 1988 when changes in the provincial health system saw the governance of hospitals move away from community-based boards of directors, our founding mission was to ensure continued financial support for Queens General Hospital, and quality healthcare for our community.
Today, our Foundation continues to support Queens General Hospital, along with other community health organizations that are committed to improving the health of Queens County residents.
