Say Thank You in a Truly Meaningful Way
Have you or a loved one experienced exceptional care in hospital? Many patients and families feel a deep sense of gratitude for the compassion, expertise, and support they received—and want to give back. Our Grateful Patient Program offers a way to say thank you by donating in honour of the team, department, or service that made a difference during your time of need. Your gift helps enhance care for others and supports the people and places that support us all.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us to make a difference in the Canterbury health sector:
