About Us
The Community Care Foundation of Edson and District is a volunteer-driven charitable organization dedicated to supporting quality health care close to home.
We work alongside local healthcare professionals and community members to identify needs and fund essential medical equipment, facility improvements, and patient-care initiatives that directly benefit residents in the Edson area.
Our projects are made possible through the generosity of donors, local partnerships, and the dedication of volunteers who share our belief that strong communities deserve strong health care.
Meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the boardroom at the Edson Medical Centre. Everyone is welcome to attend, share ideas, and get involved in shaping the future of local health care.
