Gifts of Gratitude is our grateful patient program, created to give Humber patients and their families another way to thank a nurse, doctor, staff member, or department who went above and beyond in providing care.

When a donation is made in honour of someone at Humber River Hospital, they receive a special recognition pin & personalized card, and the donation helps future patients receive great care.

Congratulations to everyone at Humber River Hospital whose exceptional care inspired a donation this month!
