Core Focus

Every project, partnership, and dollar donated supports one of the Foundation's three pillars:

FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES

Helping patients focus on healing—not finances. When serious illness changes a family's life, the Foundation provides financial assistance through the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation to help ease the burden.

• Emergency financial assistance

• Travel and accommodation support

• Over $500,000 provided to local families

ELEVATE EDUCATION

Supporting young people who lead with character. Each year, scholarships honour students who reflect John's kindness, determination and commitment to their community.

• John T. McMillan Jr. Memorial Scholarship

• Three $1,500 scholarships annually

• Simonds High School graduates

CORNERING THE CURE

Advancing leukemia research and patient care. John's legacy continues through investments in cancer research, specialized hospital equipment, patient care spaces, and innovative treatments that improve lives throughout New Brunswick.

• Hospital equipment purchases
