 Our Board of Directors

Meet the leaders elevating healthcare in our region.

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is governed by an exceptional group of volunteers that have chosen to dedicate their time in support of the Foundation. These community leaders demonstrate their commitment to elevating healthcare in the North Okanagan by using their time and significant expertise to help advance our mission. 

Each member of our Board of Directors comes to VJHF with a variety of expertise but they all have the same passion for excellent healthcare. They use those experiences to make a dramatic impact to healthcare in our community through leadership, guidance, support for our team and introducing new individuals and businesses to our mission of advancing care in the North Okanagan.

 Meet the team helping to support the next level of healthcare in the North Okanagan.

Our team at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is dedicated to providing our donors with caring and professional service. We come to our organization from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines. Through our journeys we have developed our individual skills and reaffirmed our passion for elevating healthcare in the North Okanagan. Now, we're leveraging that expertise to make that passion a reality.

Our team exemplifies the generosity and compassion that we see every day in our community. The relationships we’ve been able to make with the caring people in the North Okanagan and the partnerships we’ve fostered with the local businesses, continues to inspire us to reach further and dream bigger. When it comes to advancing our healthcare, the greatest source of motivation we have is our community.
