Wellington Hospitals Foundation is a registered Charitable Trust CC22921

Our mission is to involve our communities in our hospitals and health services and our challenge is to raise funds for “extra medical projects” that aren’t Government funded

Why we exist

Wellington’s public hospitals are the cornerstones of our community. Wellington Regional Hospital needs the involvement of our communities to support the special projects which will benefit patients, their families and hospital staff.

But doesn’t the Government fund healthcare?

Yes… and no. We are lucky in New Zealand to have free healthcare, but funding isn’t limitless and some things aren’t covered.

If you have ever had a sick child in Wellington hospital, you may have slept on a chair bed by their side.
That chair bed isn’t ‘healthcare’ and was funded by our wonderful supporters.

Know anyone who’s suffered from Coronary Heart Disease? We’re fundraising for the state of the art Cardiology equipment that will help our doctors visualise the heart faster and more accurately.

Basically, you will always have access to free healthcare, but we provide the things that make that healthcare faster, better and more comfortable.
