Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes, Misericordia Health Centre Foundation is a registered charity and is authorized by the Canada Revenue Agency to issue official receipts for income tax purposes.
Why don’t our tax dollars pay for medical equipment?
Tax dollars only pay for the basics of health care. As our population continues to grow at a rapid pace, the cost of specialized health services increases beyond the basics.
That's why your donations are so important. They fill the gap between government funding and the greater needs of the Health Centre. They buy vital equipment, renovate out-of-date hospital units, and support programs and services. Simply, your donations give our doctors and nurses the tools they need to provide the best possible care to every patient at Misericordia Health Centre.
