Stephen Sorensen’s philanthropy is transforming patient care across the region. Stephen has championed the campaign for a second MRI machine at Breast Imaging Kingston. He also made a landmark gift to secure Kingston’s first portable MRI for KHSC’s Intensive Care Unit, offering rapid, bedside imaging for critically ill patients. He also made significant contributions to fund a second Interventional Radiology (IVR) suite at KHSC and HeartFlow (an artificial intelligence platform that quickly assesses anatomy and physiology of coronary artery disease from cardiac CT scans). Stephen’s visionary support is elevating health care in Kingston to new heights.
For nearly 30 years, KidsInclusive's Kilometres for Kids Run/Walk/Roll group has raised funds to support children with special needs and their families. The event has amassed over $460,000 to date, funding essential equipment, specialized programs, and family supports. In 2023, the event returned in-person following two virtual years, raising a record $58,000. The Kids Inclusive Run/Walk/Roll continues to make a tangible difference for families facing extraordinary challenges.
For more than 30 years, the Kin Club of Gananoque has demonstrated steadfast support for Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) and Providence Care. Despite being a service club rooted in Gananoque, the group recognizes the crucial role these facilities play for the entire region. The club’s generosity is highlighted by two major leadership gifts made in the past three years. In 2022, they contributed $50,000 to KHSC’s redevelopment campaign, followed by another significant donation in 2023 to support urgent hospital priorities. Their dedication ensures that communities benefiting from KHSC’s specialized care also have a hand in strengthening it.
