Supporting Love Our Lab
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Yukoners, Love Our Lab has reached its original $500,000 fundraising goal.
Building on that success, the Yukon Hospital Foundation has expanded the campaign to $1 million to further modernize Whitehorse General Hospital’s laboratory. The expanded campaign will support additional laboratory equipment, including a new hematology analyzer, helping deliver faster, more efficient testing and keeping more care close to home.
Funds raised through the 2026 Northwestel Festival of Trees will support Love Our Lab and exceptional healthcare for Yukoners.
