Empowering Healthcare, One Contribution at a Time
​​Building on the visionary legacy of Tommy Douglas, the "Father of Medicare," the Oneness Foundation introduces a transformative funding program dedicated to supporting Internationally Educated Healthcare Professionals (IEHPs). Just as Douglas championed a universal, publicly funded healthcare system to ensure every Canadian had access to quality care, our program invites individuals and organizations to contribute towards a sustainable future for IEHPs.
