28th Kiwanis Golf Tournament
It is that time of year again when the Kiwanis Club invites you to join as a sponsor of the upcoming Kiwanis Golf Tournament on June 13th at the Taber Golf Course.
Now in its 28th year, this popular, community-focused tournament provides the perfect opportunity for sponsors and participants to network with new or potential clients and strengthen relationships with existing business contacts in a relaxed and fun environment.
SPACE LAB WALL MOUNT PATIENT MONITORS:
We are excited to announce our fundraising initiative for this year’s golf tournament will be two Space Lab Wall Mount Patient Monitors for the Emergency Department at the Taber Health Centre. These monitors are designed to not only track vital signs but also monitor the cardiac rhythms of patients, enhancing the efficiency and utilization of equipment in the Emergency Room. The estimated total for this project is $40,000.
GET INVOLVED:
Sponsors also receive great exposure before, during and after the event. Your sponsorship contribution enables this event to take place and helps support the Taber & District Health Foundation’s fundraising efforts. The TDHF works towards fulfilling its vision and mission by promoting programs and services and providing for special initiatives such as new technology, specialized equipment and innovative projects that enhance healthcare services in our community. Raising and distributing funds is a major part of what the Foundation does every year.
We hope we can count on your kind support and generosity to make this event successful. Please contact: Kiwanis Club President, Henk DeVlieger@ 403-634-1204 or Devlieger.henk@gmail.com.

McDonald's McHappy Day
Who’s ready to give back? On Wednesday, May 8, a portion of proceeds from All menu items at the Taber McDonald’s will support initiatives at the Foundation!
All Day May 8, proceeds from your purchases at McDonald’s will be allocated towards purchasing a portable Fetal Monitoring Device for the Taber Health Centre.
The Taber Health Center is delivering more babies than ever. These upgraded fetal monitoring systems enable Labour and Delivery staff to safely and accurately monitor the baby and mom's well-being before and during labour while also ensuring the comfort of the mom as she can move around the room while monitoring is taking place. The transducers are also waterproof, which fits nicely for the patient who wants to labour and/or deliver in our water delivery tub. Being that the device is portable it can also be used wherever it is needed such as Labour and Delivery, ER, or the Operating Room.

Dairy Queen Blizzard Treat Day
Blizzard Treat Day is almost here! On Friday, April 26, when you purchase a blizzard from the Taber Dairy Queen, you will enhance healthcare in the Taber District! All proceeds from Blizzards purchased on April 26 will be directed to our current initiative for a Bariatric Shower Chair for Long Term Care at the Taber Health Centre!
The chair is a reclining shower chair that enables the residents who are unable to support their upper body to be comfortable and safe. It also allows them to have the ability to enjoy a shower vs a tub bath. The chair is easy to clean, comfortable for the resident, user-friendly and ergonomically safe.
Taber Dairy Queen is located at 6050 46 Ave. We look forward to seeing you there!

2023 Fall Pledge Drive: Transforming Bathrooms for Independence and Greatest Needs at the Taber Health Center.
The Taber & District Health Foundation’s Annual Campaign is scheduled to run from October 10 – October 14, 2023. The focus this year is on a project that touches the lives of our beloved seniors residing at Pioneer Place Manor.
We all have family members and friends who have gracefully aged, and we know how crucial it is to ensure their comfort, safety, and independence. However, imagine the daily challenges faced by seniors who no longer have easy access to a bathtub. Simple tasks like bathing, which many of us take for granted, become significant hurdles for them.
This year, at Taber & District Health Foundation, we have set an ambitious goal to raise funds for a project that will have a profound impact on the lives of these seniors. We aim to renovate 15 existing bathtubs at Pioneer Place Manor, transforming them into accessible showers. This transformation will not only provide a safer bathing environment but also promote independent living. It's about giving back the dignity they deserve.
To accomplish this goal, we are hoping to raise $160,000.00 through our campaign. A portion of these funds will be allocated to this vital bathtub renovation project. The remainder of the funds will be used to purchase essential equipment within the Taber Health Centre in the upcoming year, where it is determined to be of the greatest need.

Your contribution will help us improve their daily lives and restore their independence. Together, we can ensure their safety, comfort, and dignity.

McDonald's McHappy Day
Join the Foundation on May 10 at the Taber McDonald’s for McHappy Day. 75% of funds raised from all sales will go towards our Foundation and 25% to the Ronald McDonald Charities.
Although the event runs all day, bring the kids and join us from 4:30 – 7:00 pm for face painting, games, the opportunity to win some prizes, an awesome DJ as well as Taber Fire on scene with their Fire Truck (pending no emergencies).
McHappy Day funds will be utilized to purchase a specialized children’s treadmill and therapy equipment for children that utilize the services of Allied Health Services at the Taber Health Centre. These new resources (including books, games, puzzles, feeding supplies, toys, equipment, and play structures) will make play-based therapy sessions more engaging for both the children and their families we connect with, and provide a much broader range of environments for those children to learn, develop, and succeed in.

TDHF PLEDGE DRIVE
For the past 25 years, the TDHF has hosted an annual fall telethon. This great event has highlighted the work the foundation does in our communities and has raised significant funds to support those programs. Due to the Covid pandemic, we have not been able to host this event in 2020 or 2021. TDHF recognizes the vast impacts of the pandemic on the health of our hospital staff, frontline workers and our communities.
We know that times continue to be challenging, but there are still reasons to smile. We smile because throughout the years, existing equipment has been purchased by your generosity and used at the Taber Health Centre, and many other locations, to directly benefit patients and residents alike. New equipment is continuing to be purchased which continues to put a smile on a lot of people’s faces.
As Colleen, an OR Nurse explained when they used the new drill, “Dr, Storey did two surgeries with it. He liked it. The OR staff loved it. It was very slick. No more big tank and the hose taking up space. It makes our scrub table more efficient and easier to organize. The new drill is fast and does a great job. It is user friendly. The potential for new surgical procedures has also opened up thanks to this new drill. Dr. Storey has some ideas and is going to work on increasing surgeries. We sincerely thank the Taber Health Foundation for this equipment for the operating room. “
You made this happen by donating to the Taber & District Health Foundation. Your donations are far reaching and make a difference in the lives of residents in our communities. Please consider making a donation today.
There are several ways to contribute:
-online through the foundation website: www.tdhf.ca
-by texting the word HEALTH to 45678 to donate $10, $20 or $25 (only active October 1-31)
-call the TDHF office: 403-223-7232
If you’re unable to donate at this time, there are many other ways you can support us! You can advocate for us by sharing our mission with a family member or friend. Even a quick mention on your social media would mean the world to us.
in times like this, we’re reminded of how interconnected we all are. Thank you for being part of our community. Without you, none of it is possible.
