Meet your Health Sciences Foundation Board of Directors

The Health Sciences Foundation’s mission is to inspire the people of Northwestern Ontario to give generously to enable the advancement of world-class healthcare at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Leading this mission is your Health Sciences Foundation Board of Directors. These volunteers are a dedicated and hard-working group of individuals that care passionately about ensuring our community has the best healthcare possible. Your Board of Directors is the legal authority for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation.
