Amplifying diversity, inclusion and a sense of belonging has always been at the forefront of the art collections at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

Aligning with this vision was top of mind when Lauren Crazybull’s ‘Portrait Series’ was installed in a high traffic corridor of the U of A Hospital. In this grouping of individual portraits, Crazybull presents captivating portrayals of seven friends and acquaintances.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation gratefully acknowledges the support of the Awasisak Indigenous Health Program in making the acquisition of this art possible.

As the Medical Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU) Transport Team at the Stollery, Dr. de Caen recognized a crucial need more than three decades ago: specialized care for critically ill children — before they even reach the Hospital.

Today, Dr. de Caen was awarded the Canadian Hospital Impact Award at Children's Hospitals Week!

Thanks to our friends at the Air Canada Foundation, our Stollery Champion, Ryder, has arrived in Orlando for Children’s Hospitals Week! 🛫💜

Held annually, Children’s Hospitals Week celebrates the power of the Children's Miracle Network Canada (CMN) and Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations (CCHF), and the impact our national partners are making on children’s health care.

CMN and CCHF partners and hospital foundation representatives will gather alongside Champion children and their families for a week of connection and learning. As our Stollery Champion, Ryder will represent kids from backyards across Alberta and beyond who rely on the world-class care at the Stollery.

THANK YOU to the Air Canada Foundation for pulling out all the stops to give Ryder and his family a great flight experience on their way to Orlando.

We’re so grateful for your ongoing support of kids’ health.

Announcing our 2025 Stollery Children’s Miracle Network Champion… RYDER! 🎉

Ryder is all about hockey – from playing with his hockey team in Drayton Valley, to cheering for the Edmonton Oilers. Thanks to the expert care he received at the Stollery Children’s Hospital after he was born with two stomachs, Ryder now gets to eat chicken wings to his heart’s content.

The Champion Program is a signature program of Children’s Miracle Network that honours remarkable kids, like Ryder, who have triumphed despite complex medical challenges. All proceeds raised through Children's Miracle Network Canada partnerships in northern Alberta are invested locally to help to fund the best programs, equipment, research and training at the Stollery.

As the Stollery Champion, Ryder will represent kids from backyards across Alberta and beyond who receive world-class care at the Stollery.

Congratulations Ryder! We know you’ll be an AMAZING ambassador for the Stollery – and your hometown of Drayton Valley!

Happy Edmonton Oilers game day! 💙🧡

We’re proud to celebrate the generosity and unwavering support of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF). Since 2001, the EOCF has been a dedicated partner, investing in vital programs, services and specialized medical equipment to help provide the best possible care for kids across Western Canada.

From funding life-saving equipment to spreading smiles throughout the Hospital during patient visits, the Edmonton Oilers have played a key role in shaping the Stollery into the world-class children’s hospital it is today.

FUN FACT: The Edmonton Oilers Ambulatory Clinic at the Stollery hosts more than 40 clinical services, giving patients access to multiple specialists during a single visit!

With 27% of Stollery patients coming from outside the Edmonton area, we're grateful to our rural community fundraisers for supporting Stollery kids in backyards across Alberta and beyond!

March was a Stollerific month, with 60% of our community fundraisers taking place outside of Edmonton — all the way from Vegreville, Red Deer, Calgary and more!

E2 + Associates - Formerly Evans 2 Design Group fundraises through their GingerCane Gingerbread Design Competition, which has been supporting the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation for 12 years.

We had the pleasure of meeting with their team in Calgary last month to learn about why the Stollery is important to them. They shared a personal Stollery story with us and let us know how much they care about supporting the hospitals that help both their children and their clients’ children when they're sick.

Last week, we held our second annual National Partner Launch!

This event began last year with the idea of inviting our valued Children's Miracle Network Canada and Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations partners and their teams to spend a day learning and connecting in-person at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. The day was so well-received that we'll be continuing this event for years to come!

We’re so grateful for all of our partners who joined us to learn more about the world-class Hospital they help support. We also want to say a big thank you to our amazing speakers for sharing their knowledge and stories with our attendees!

The collective efforts of our partners, whether through receiving a $2 donation at the till or donating $20 off their paycheques, make a life-changing difference. Last year alone, our partners raised an incredible $5.7 MILLION for the Stollery!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Stollery kids. 💜
