Vulcan County Health & Wellness Foundation - Vulcan

Who we are, and why we are here?

The Vulcan County Health and Wellness Foundation formed in response to local concerns about the scope of health services at the Community Health Centre. The volunteer board is comprised of residents from within Vulcan County and is supported by one full-time employee. As a Canada Revenue registered charity, the Foundation is registered under the Health Regulatory Act of the Province of Alberta, Canada. We produce public financials vetted by the Alberta Health Services Board, under the Minister of Health.

We are a project-based and goal-oriented so that we can respond strategically and efficiently to the community’s needs. This ensures that donated funds attain maximum benefit for their contribution to the Vulcan County Health and Wellness Foundation. In our Community Conversations sessions, our donors tell us that the most critical aspect of Rural Health is to have certainty and security of knowing, their healthcare providers are there for them when they need help. Health is the one equalizer, the topic that affects and aligns us all.

The idea that we can keep people healthy and living out their lives in their community is paramount to the Vulcan County Health and Wellness Foundation’s vision.
