Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation Announces Lead Donor for MRI Campaign

The Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce ARC Resources Ltd. (ARC) as its lead donor in the campaign to bring the first publicly funded MRI machine to the South Peace.

Thanks to a generous contribution of $1.5 million, half of the campaign total, from ARC Resources Ltd., the Foundation is one step closer to reaching its $3 million fundraising goal. This donation marks a pivotal moment in the campaign and reflects the deep commitment of local champions to improving health care access in our region.

“We are incredibly grateful for the early support from ARC Resources,” said Brette Madden, President of the Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation. “From the beginning, we knew this goal was ambitious – but essential. ARC’s role in championing this project highlights just how important it is to bring an MRI to the new Dawson Creek Hospital and the difference it will make for our community.”

“We’re proud to be a part of this landmark campaign to enhance access to advanced healthcare in our province,” said Sean Calder, ARC’s Vice President, Field Operations. “Having a new healthcare hub that’s equipped with the latest technology in Dawson Creek will ensure patients can receive timely, high-quality care when they need it – all while staying close to home.”

The MRI will be installed in the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital, a $590-million facility funded by Northern Health and the Peace River Regional Hospital District. The hospital will serve as a modern health care hub for the entire Northeast.

The Foundation continues to seek support from donors across the region to complete this vital campaign.
