Southlake Foundation

Southlake Foundation Southlake Health Foundation inspires investment from our community in leading edge care, close to home. www.southlakefoundation.ca

Since its inception, Southlake Foundation has granted $93.8 million to Southlake, transforming our Hospital from a small regional Hospital to the world class healthcare facility that it is today. Funds have been generated for medical equipment, capital projects, patient programs and staff education - all for the goal of creating a hospital that meets the expectation of excellent outcomes for our family members, friends and neighbours. At Southlake, we are committed to creating an environment in which our patients can have the confidence of expert care delivered by a compassionate team who truly puts the patient first. A lofty goal perhaps, but one to which our commitment is unwavering. At the Southlake Foundation, we believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With that in mind, we were one of the founding members of Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program, a national program which requires that charities adhere to the highest standards of accountability in their relationships with donors. As a donor, it is important for you to know that a portion of your gift will be allocated to cover Foundation expenses necessary to raise millions of dollars annually and to help support the Hospital’s priority needs not covered by other funding. The Southlake Foundation Board establishes and monitors the allocation amount as part of the annual budgeting process. Our sincere appreciation to the generous donors who share our vision. It is through your support that we can improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients and their families every day.

November is “Make a Will” Month - the perfect time to start (or revisit) your estate planning. Creating a Will isn’t just for the elderly or wealthy; it’s for every adult who wants to protect their loved ones and ensure their wishes are respected. It’s also an opportunity to leave a ‘legacy gift’ for the causes or organizations that matter most to you.

A gift in your Will to Southlake is one of the most thoughtful ways to provide health, hope, and leading edge care to your family, neighbors, and our community, for generations to come.

Our team at Southlake Health Foundation is here to answer any questions you may have. To explore how you can make a lasting impact on the future of healthcare in our community with a gift in your Will to Southlake, please visit: www.southlake.ca/legacy.

On Friday, Southlake Health Foundation was so pleased to partner with Trees for Life and a dedicated group of volunteers to plant 100 trees across Southlake Health's Davis Drive campus. Trees for Life is a non profit organization that generously supports tree planting across Canada in celebration and recognition of healthcare heroes, creating living legacies in their honour. These Canadian tree species will serve as a symbol of thanks to all our physicians, nurses, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for the leading edge care they provide everyday to patients and families in our communities.

Our thanks to Trees for Life President Mark Cullen, Canada's Gardening Guru for welcoming and joining our tree planting crew, the Trees for Life team who generously supported this project, as well members of our Southlake Family, our Southlake Foundation Community Cabinet, and caring members of our communities who volunteered their time to bring greenery and gratitude to Southlake.

With prostate cancer being one of most diagnosed cancers among men in Ontario, Southlake is proud to announce that starting January 2026, patients in York Region and Simcoe County will have access to earlier, more precise detection and personalized treatment planning for prostate cancer with new PSMA PET imaging at Southlake’s Regional Cancer Centre.

The introduction of PSMA PET is a game changer in detecting and managing prostate cancer, providing a level of precision that enables our clinicians to tailor treatment more effectively for each patient. This advanced technology will be used at Southlake to benefit countless patients across our communities.

This milestone was made possible thanks to generous community support that brought York Region’s first PET-CT Scanner to Southlake in 2023, through the ‘HERE is Where Cancer Meets its Match’ fundraising campaign.

The PET-CT Scanner is just one of many significant upgrades made at Southlake as the result of the Campaign that aims to grow capacity and support technological advancement for Southlake’s Regional Cancer Centre.

Together, we’re ensuring every patient in our communities have access to leading edge cancer care, close to home.

What a show! On Thursday, October 30, the NewRoads Performing Arts Centre was buzzing with the fashion event of the season — the 2025 Whiskey, Wine and MR Menswear fashion show!

Eight dedicated Southlake Health physicians swapped their scrubs for suits and took to the runway in support of our HERE is Where Cancer Meets its Match Campaign for Southlake’s Regional Cancer Centre.

It was an evening of great food, wine and whiskey tasting, incredible fun, and most importantly, impactful community support for our families, friends, and neighbours who rely on Southlake to provide leading edge cancer care, close to home when they need it most. Together with our community, this event raised over $140,000 - a best ever result!

A heartfelt thank you to Mike Rathke of MR Menswear in Aurora for organizing the event, the committee for volunteering their time and talent, the generous sponsors who make events like this possible, our Southlake physicians for putting on an incredible show, and to all the members of our communities who purchased tickets, bid in the event auctions, and made donations to support the event.
