Callahan Property Group is honoured to be part of a community of donors in support of the KGH Foundation Every Moment Matters Campaign to advance stroke care in our region.
Together, as a community, KGH Foundation raised $8 million to bring world-class stroke care to Kelowna General Hospital. Every year, thousands of patients and families in the southern interior of BC are impacted by a stroke. Current and future patients now have access to the specialized care that they need, close to home. This support contributes to all stages of stroke care, from onset to rehabilitation, to research and prevention.

Last year, there were over 1,500 cases of
stroke in the Interior Health region. While advancements in acute care,
treatment and rehabilitation for stroke patients have been made in recent
years, the grim reality of stroke is sobering; it is still the leading cause of
long-term disability in adults and regrettably, the third leading cause of
death in B.C. Every year the numbers are
growing.
The gift from CPG will support the KGH
Foundation’s partnership with the Interior Health Authority to fund significant
advancements in regional stroke care.
“We are humbly grateful for the long-standing support of CPG,” says Mischa Mueller, Director of Philanthropy for the KGH Foundation. “Their loyalty to supporting excellence in health care in our community is incredibly important to the future of care in the southern interior.”
Since 1978, the KGH Foundation has worked with a generous community to raise funds to support world-class healthcare close to home for a rapidly expanding and diverse population in the interior of B.C. Today, the KGH Foundation is the lead fundraising organization for Kelowna General Hospital and its associated facilities, JoeAnna’s House and Central Okanagan Hospice House.
