This year, RiPL is taking the lead on supporting the most vulnerable patients in our community – the people in Humber’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

A stay in the hospital is stressful – a stay in the ICU can sometimes be unimaginable both for the patient and their loved ones.

Our Hospital teams care for a high needs community with chronic health conditions that are not always managed. All of these factors contribute to a busy ICU.

To meet the needs of our community, Humber has the critical responsibility of being equipped to respond to a surge at any given time.

Our permanent expansion will bring our capacity to 60 ICU beds, which will not only make us a larger-scale ICU, but we will also have beds ready at a moment’s notice when someone in our community needs it most.  It will also provide relief to family members who can visit easily and often, which we know is better for the mind, body and soul of patients in the fight of their lives.

Whether you are just starting your career, embarking on a new chapter or celebrating your second or third act, RiPL is perfect for leaders who are ready to start their philanthropic journeys.

Rising Philanthropic Leaders (RiPL) is a group of ambitious, forward-thinkers who want to make a positive impact on the world, starting with Humber River Health. We support Humber through various philanthropic endeavours and rally our networks to join in the fun (and fundraising!).

As members of RIPL, we use the influence and trust we have in our communities to lead participation in noble and impactful Hospital initiatives. We decide where our collective funds can do the most good and have the most significant impact. We also get exclusive access to private events, as well as Hospital tours and Doc Talks, keeping us at the forefront of healthcare innovation.

How Does it Work?

1. Donate: Rising leaders make a personal donation to HRH Foundation
2. Decide: We then come together to decide on what innovative program or project at HRH we will fund collectively as a group
3. Fundraise: The fun starts! Together we will plan fundraising events, campaigns and initiatives throughout the year and invite our friends, family, colleagues to attend and raise money towards our goal
4. Repeat!
