“Spirit of the North is grateful to our many donors who so generously provide funds to better health outcomes in the region.

Through these donations we are able to support Northern Health, other specialized healthcare agencies, and the education of healthcare workers,” said Judy Neiser, CEO for Spirit of the North. “We could not do this without such tremendous support – we are truly thankful.”
