Hundreds of thousands of patients come through the doors of the Royal Alexandra Hospital each year. As one of the busiest hospitals in Canada—in terms of not just patient volume but also teaching and research for the medicine of tomorrow—the Royal Alex changes lives every single day.  

For over a century, our hospital has been serving Edmonton, Alberta, and beyond, with compassionate, world-class care. As a leading hospital located in the inner-city, the Royal Alex is not only a healthcare facility but a vital lifeline for individuals from all walks of life, including those from challenging socio-economic backgrounds and remote northern communities. 

The Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that our hospital can continue to provide and advance care across a wide range of medical disciplines—from emergency services to our specialized medical centers of excellence like the Lois Hole Hospital for Women, the CK Hui Heart Centre, and the Eye Institute of Alberta. But we can't do it without you. Your donation to the Priority Needs Fund will help us meet urgent and evolving needs—whether it’s life-saving equipment, specialized care, expanding essential services, or supporting the Royal Alex as a leading research and teaching hospital. 

The Need 

The Royal Alexandra Hospital is a dynamic institution with diverse patient needs. Every day, we encounter new challenges in providing the highest quality care for our patients. From emergency medicine to neonatal intensive care, the needs are urgent, and they evolve quickly.
