Burin Peninsula Health Care Foundation
The Burin Peninsula Health Care Foundation is able to achieve our annual goals through invaluable regional, provincial and national partnerships. These partnerships play an integral role in helping us enhance healthcare in our rural communities for our patients and their loved ones. As with many non-profit organizations, our success is directly linked to our donors, volunteers and the many Canadian foundations that provide grants to contribute to our projects and healthcare priorities.
Annually, the BPHCF Board of Directors works directly with managers and staff of NL Health Services to determine the highest priority needs for our local healthcare centers and patients. Needs are identified by local front-line healthcare staff, reviewed and approved by managers, compiled in consultation with NL Health Services executives, and communicated to the BPHCF Board of Directors for final review and approval. Once approved, we begin our fundraising efforts for these projects and programs.

The Mental Health & Addictions campaign is both increasing access to, and enhancing program delivery of mental health and addictions services for residents living in remote and rural areas on the Burin Peninsula.
In recent years, our Mental Health & Addictions project has prioritized mental health education, focusing on the delivery of ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) to community led organizations, safeTALK to youth in grades 10 to 12 in our local high schools, and Mental Health First Aid to volunteer emergency first-responders. All educational offerings were delivered in our communities free-of-charge. With your donations, these opportunities will continue to be available in our local communities.

The Palliative Caring Program provides daily nutritional snacks and refreshments to families with loved ones in Palliative Care, including tea, coffee, freshly baked goodies, and an assortment of biscuits. Our hope is that our Palliative Caring Baskets will help bring comfort to families and allow them to stay close to their loved ones during end-of-life care.
