WATERLOO REGIONAL HEALTH NETWORK FOUNDATION
In April 2025, the two hospitals in Waterloo Region, Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital, merged to become the Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN). The merger formally brought the hospitals together after 90 years of partnership, shared leadership and care delivery. Following in the footstep of its hospital partner, in May 2025, the respective hospital foundations amalgamated to create the Waterloo Regional Health Network Foundation (WRHN Foundation).
We’re Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN, pronounced “wren”) Foundation, the charitable partner of Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN).
The amalgamation of the legacy foundations brings together a dynamic team focused on supporting the priority needs of Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN), including several exciting future capital projects:
- Building a new acute care hospital at the University of Waterloo site, with Stage 1A (clinical services) opening in 2032 and Stage 1B (acute hospital) in 2035,
- Modernizing the existing Midtown (Kitchener-Waterloo) and Chicopee (Freeport) sites,
- Operating the Queen’s Blvd (St. Mary’s) site as an acute hospital until the new acute hospital is complete.
Coming together as one Foundation also means greater capacity to raise more funds for a 20-year redevelopment plan, essential medical equipment and programs supporting 1.4 Ontarians – 10% of Ontario), along with potential for collaborations with the University of Waterloo and partnerships with the tech sector. As a single hospital Foundation, it is now easier for donors, partners and community members to contribute to broader needs and integrated care programs at our hospital network, leading to even greater health impact in the region.
Last fiscal year, the legacy foundations raised $30.5M combined toward essential medical equipment and programs across Kitchener-Waterloo. Our goal is to significantly grow this annual revenue over the next decade and launch a significant capital campaign.
ABOUT OUR HOSPITAL NETWORK
The Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) operates three hospital sites and services, including:
- WRHN @ Midtown
- WRHN @ Queen’s Blvd
- WRHN @ Chicopee
WRHN is redefining healthcare in Waterloo Wellington and beyond. By uniting expertise and resources with regional hospitals and local Ontario Health Teams, WRHN is creating a seamless system focused on innovation, accessibility, and compassionate care. WRHN is committed to delivering exceptional support and trusted care for every individual and family in the community.
WRHN serves the Region of Waterloo and surrounding areas, with a combined catchment of 1.4 million people, or 10% of the Province of Ontario. Over the last 5 years the population to be served by WRHN has grown by 10.9%, nearly double the rate of growth of Ontario. Over the next 10 years the population is expected to grow by 18.1%, 70% more than the forecasted growth of the province – 2 million people.
In addition to the services of a large multi-site hospital with multiple community and regional sites, WRHN will provide the current regional programs in cardiac care, lungs, cancer, eyes, breast screening, renal services, and stroke care.
WRHN continues to strengthen its partnerships with universities, community colleges, community partners and innovation partners. WRHN serves as a teaching site for the McMaster University’s Waterloo Regional Campus. WRHN hosts an integrated research and ethics committee, which bolsters collaborative research efforts. Existing partnerships provide a robust foundation for further integration, enhancing WRHN’s capacity to collaborate with educational institutions and community partners.
VISION FOR HEALTHCARE IN WATERLOO REGION
WRHN’s vision is a Waterloo Region where everyone has access to the highest quality of care, technology and hospital infrastructure needed to be healthy—now and in the future.
Waterloo Region is one of the fastest-growing urban areas in Canada. To meet the healthcare needs of the community, WRHN plans to significantly renovate and redevelop its hospital infrastructure and build a new acute care hospital.
The construction of the new acute hospital, redevelopment and expansion of the continuing care site and renovations and repurposing of the Kitchener mid-town site in a 2 decade-long initiative. In total this project cost is estimated at over $10 billion.
Through building a new hospital, WRHN will create opportunities for strengthened research, education, innovation and technology in health. It will design facilities for future generations of health care workers and researchers right here in Kitchener-Waterloo.
New Hospital Process
In the 2025 Provincial Budget, WRHN was awarded an additional $10 million planning grant from the Ministry of Health to continue advancing the new hospital development and modernization of care in Waterloo Region. This funding builds on the initial $5 million grant provided in 2022 and reflects the growing provincial recognition of the region’s urgent healthcare needs. WRHN completed and submitted in 2025 its Stage 1.3 Functional Program to the Ministry, a major planning milestone supported by letters of endorsement from all seven municipalities and the Region of Waterloo – demonstrating the strong and unified community support for this transformative project.
WRHN Foundation Commitment to New Hospital Project
In June 2025, the WRHN Foundation board committed to support the new hospital build. This is an exciting time for the Kitchener-Waterloo community and for the WRHN Foundation to support generations of healthcare to come.

Ivey Business School acknowledges and respects the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron peoples, where Western University and Ivey Business School are located. This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous peoples, whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of the community.
As a globally renowned research-intensive university and founding member of the U15 group of Canadian universities, Western University has entered a new phase of impact and engagement through its All in Campaign. Ivey Business School, Canada’s top-ranked business school, recognized globally for excellence in case-based pedagogy and research, is advancing this shared ambition through the launch of a historic campaign that aligns with the All in Campaign and accelerates its own bold strategic priorities. Together, these efforts represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity: aligning institutional directions with globally renowned leadership in business education, unlocking new possibilities for teaching, learning, and research across Ivey’s campuses in London, Toronto, and Hong Kong, and creating extraordinary potential for impact and connection.
At this defining and exciting moment, Ivey seeks an Executive Director, Advancement, to lead its Advancement portfolio. Reporting to the Dean and working in close partnership with faculty and colleagues across Western, including the President, the Vice-President (Western Advancement), and the Provost & Vice-President (Academic), this leader will shape and execute a sophisticated advancement strategy aligned with School and University priorities. As chief fundraiser for Ivey, the Executive Director will lead a high-performing Advancement team, deepen relationships with alumni, donors, and strategic partners, and drive philanthropic engagement that directly influences Ivey’s future, its learners, and the communities it serves.
As the senior architect of Ivey’s largest campaign to date, the Executive Director will refine and lead the School’s fundraising vision, steward transformative major and principal gifts, advance innovation in donor engagement and stewardship, and cultivate a School-wide culture of philanthropy that leverages the momentum of Western’s All in Campaign. Working closely with faculty, University and School leadership, and in partnership with leaders of the All in Campaign, they will set clear campaign priorities, craft compelling cases for support, and ensure advancement efforts are seamlessly integrated across the School and University.
The ideal candidate is a strategic, results-driven, and inspiring leader who thrives in a collaborative, data-driven, complex environment and is energized by the opportunity to shape the most ambitious campaign in Ivey’s history. They will bring a university degree and at least 15 years of progressive senior leadership experience in advancement or a related field, with a demonstrated record of success across comprehensive campaigns, fundraising, alumni engagement, and donor stewardship at various levels of giving across different donor segments, with a particular focus on principal level giving. An exceptional communicator and relationship-builder, the successful candidate will be adept at engaging donors, volunteers, faculty, University leadership, and staff, and will bring a strong understanding of the Canadian and global philanthropic landscapes. Above all, they will share and emulate a deep commitment to Ivey’s mission and values, and the ability to articulate its impact and aspirations to audiences around the world.
