Because of your generosity, Maritime families are one car ride, ambulance drive, or air ambulance flight away from specialized care that only the IWK can provide. Our patients and families bravely face uncertainty and challenges, showing us what it means to be Stronger Than You Know.

Celebrating the Impact of Our Community
Stronger than you know.
I have often said that the Maritimes is one of the most generous places in the world.
Time and time again, donors like you demonstrate this selflessness by stepping up to ensure women, children, youth and families receive exceptional care close to home. You rise in the face of obstacles. You rise to support what is our community’s beacon of hope and connection—the IWK.
In many ways, you’re our beacon of hope and connection. Because of your generosity, Maritime families are one car ride, ambulance drive, or air ambulance flight away from specialized care that only the IWK can provide. Our patients and families bravely face uncertainty and challenges, showing us what it means to be Stronger Than You Know.
This report features some of our strong and resilient patient families whose hope and optimism inspire us all to think bolder. Thank you for always being there for these families. Together, we’re revolutionizing health care and advancing research for the women and children of today and the future.
With your ongoing commitment, the IWK will continue to be there when Maritime families need it most.
