Women Leading Philanthropy (WLP) Finalist Spotlight: Dr. Dominique Kushneriuk

💜 Championing Women’s Heart Health

Meet Dr. Dominique Kushneriuk, Clinical Assistant Professor in Cardiology at the University of Saskatchewan and Medical Director of both the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program and Women’s Heart Health Clinic at Royal University Hospital. A passionate educator and echocardiographer, her work centres on advancing care for women with heart disease.

Project: “Assessing the Impact of Online Patient Education Resources and Impact of Microvascular Coronary Testing on Health Outcomes and Self-Management in Women with Heart Disease”

This project focuses on an often-overlooked heart condition—coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD)—that affects small vessels and is frequently missed in standard tests. Dr. Kushneriuk aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and education for women living with CMD in Saskatchewan.

Stay tuned to learn about our other two incredible WLP finalists!

🌟 Exciting News from Women Leading Philanthropy (WLP)! 🌟

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce our new WLP Honourary Chair for 2025–2026, the dynamic and inspiring Heather Morrison! 💜

Heather is a powerhouse in our community — a respected broadcaster, award-winning theatre artist, and the founder of Deliver Your Best, a public speaking coaching company helping people around the world conquer their fear and shine in front of any audience.

You may recognize Heather from CBC Radio and TV, as a sideline reporter for the Saskatchewan Rush, or even from her appearances on TSN. But what truly sets her apart is her passion for elevating others. She’s on a mission to help people — especially women — speak with confidence, authenticity, and impact.

🎤 From someone who once dreaded public speaking to becoming one of the most sought-after MCs in the province, Heather’s journey is a powerful example of transformation and leadership.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Heather to the WLP family. We know she’ll help elevate this program — and the incredible women it supports — to bold new heights. ✨

💜 Thank You, Wild Rose 4H Beef Club ! 💜

Meet Erin — a very special steer with a heartwarming mission — and Owen, a proud Wild Rose 4-H Club member who lives with epilepsy.

Thanks to the incredible generosity and hard work of the Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club, $55,830 was raised through donations and the sale of Erin at the Prince Albert Regional 4-H Show and Sale. With a matching gift from the Merlis Belsher Family, that gift has doubled in impact, helping us reach our $1.2 million goal to bring a Stereotactic Seizure Robot to Royal University Hospital! 🎉

This robot is a game-changer for people living with epilepsy. It means more precise, less invasive surgeries, faster recovery times, and most importantly, hope for patients and families across Saskatchewan.

From all of us at RUH Foundation — thank you for leading with heart, for believing in better care, and for changing lives. 💜

💜 Gratitude is good medicine. 💜

Every person who walks through our hospital doors is someone’s child, partner, sibling, or friend. Some you may know. Others you may never meet. But all of them deserve the very best care—care that’s innovative, compassionate, and state-of-the-art.

When you give, you’re not just helping a future patient—you could be helping yourself, someone you love, or a total stranger. Your support makes sure that when the next emergency happens, the best possible care is here—ready and waiting.

✨ Because we all deserve world-class care, no matter what.

🎉 Congratulations to the Rural Trauma Team Development Course (RTTDC) on receiving the Saskatchewan Health Authority Creative Innovation Award! 🏆

This well-earned honour celebrates RTTDC’s incredible work supporting trauma care in rural Saskatchewan. By helping rural health-care teams prepare, plan, and respond quickly in emergencies, they’re making a lifesaving impact in communities across the province.

As SHA CEO Andrew Will shared during the award presentation, the program shows how innovation doesn’t always mean new technology—it can be a smarter, team-based approach that truly transforms care.

A heartfelt thank you to RBC for their generous donation supporting this program, and to Orano for helping fund the purchase of a simulation manikin—both contributions are making a real difference in how rural teams train and respond.

Thank you to the RTTDC team for your leadership and commitment to rural health. This is what meaningful innovation looks like. 💜

🎉 10 Years of Dedication. More than $15,000 Raised. Countless Lives Touched. 💜

A huge thank you to Richard Hill, his mom Marilyn Scutt and the entire family for organizing the 10th Annual 10,000 Kettlebells for Parkinson’s Challenge this past February! 🏋️‍♂️✨

What began in 2015 as a bold, personal fitness challenge has grown into a movement of strength, wellness, and hope. This year, the event raised $1,983 in support of Parkinson’s disease research at Royal University Hospital—bringing the total impact over 10 years to more than $15,000!

Every kettlebell swing, donation, and story shared honours Marilyn’s journey and the exceptional care she received from Dr. Ali and Dr. Alex Rajput. Your continued support helps fund critical research and brings us one step closer to better treatments and outcomes for those living with Parkinson’s.

Thank you to everyone who took part, donated, or cheered from the sidelines. 💪💜 Together, we’re making a difference.

➡️ There’s still time to give: https://ruhf.org/10000-kettlebell-challenge-for-parkinsons/. Thank you.
