The mission and vision of the Bennett and Albert County Hospital Foundation is to enhance and to have a positive impact on the health and wellness of the people served by the Albert County Health and Wellness Centre through raising funds and managing assets in the spirit of our benefactor, Judge Bennett’s vision. This is achieved through the support of our community and the satisfaction of our donors.

The foundation has been successful in raising funds for a number of vital pieces of equipment including new X-ray and digital imaging equipment, a new community health room, and most recently, state-of-the art telehealth conferencing capabilities that will enable patients to be assessed remotely by other health care experts across the province. Along with keeping the Albert County Health and Wellness Centre on the leading edge of technology, this equipment will also help prevent unnecessary patient transfers to The Moncton Hospital.
