We’re working wonders for Mackay families
The Mackay Hospital Foundation is a community driven charity, providing fundraising support to the Mackay Base Hospital and all other public hospitals in the Mackay district. The Foundation was established in October 2010 under the provisions of the Hospitals Foundations Act 2018. Government funding provides essential health services, but it cannot pay for everything. The Foundation’s role is to fill the gap; to provide those extras that will help patients to receive the finest health care possible and support hospital staff, to have the best working environment to provide it, the charity of choice for our community.
Meet our board
Members of the Mackay Hospital Foundation Board, who are appointed by the Minister for Health, are drawn from the business, medical and university communities. These men and women are community leaders who serve without remuneration on a volunteer basis and are dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of our community.
