Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Celebrates 5 Years of Care

Saskatchewan — Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation (JPCHF) is proud to mark the five-year anniversary of Saskatchewan’s only dedicated maternal and children’s hospital. Since opening its doors in September 2019, there have been countless stories of hope, healing and resilience that have emerged within the walls of JPCH.

This milestone would not have been possible without the generous support of donors, including the visionary contribution of Jim Pattison and thousands of other dedicated supporters across Saskatchewan. Their belief in the power of community and the importance of pediatric health care has helped shape JPCH into the world-class facility it is today.

“When Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital opened five years ago it was the culmination of the efforts of many people, including the generous support of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation,” SHA CEO Andrew Will said. “Today, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital continues to play a vital role in the health-care journey of Saskatchewan’s mothers and children, and we are thankful for the contributions of our staff, physicians and philanthropic partners at JPCHF for their dedication and service.” 

“You only need to walk through the walls of JPCH to see the tangible impact of Saskatchewan’s generosity. It is with deepest gratitude that we acknowledge this children’s hospital was built with incredible donors whose tireless support made this dream a reality,” says Brynn Boback-Lane, President & CEO, JPCHF. “Our Foundation also extends great appreciation to our partners Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, Saskatchewan Health Authority, University of Saskatchewan-College of Medicine and JPCH staff for their infallible dedication and commitment to the children and moms-to-be across Saskatchewan. With this combined devotion, our province is posed for continued excellence in pediatric and maternal care.”

As JPCHF looks forward to the next five years, the Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to fund critical specialized equipment and innovative programs. 

In celebration of this significant milestone, JPCHF created a commemorative video and five-year anniversary edition of its newsletter.
