The Grande Prairie Regional Hospital Foundation (GPRHF) is proud to unveil the new Jim Boccioletti Donor Wall in the Atrium of the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.

Right inside the entrance of the main doors, this donor wall is the largest single-screen digital donor wall in Canada. It features a 165” by 106” LED digital display, as well as a 65” tall interactive touchscreen.

“This project has been in the works for quite some time,” said Keith Curtis, GPRH Foundation Executive Director. “We are really excited to have this wall as a way to show our gratitude, and give our donors the recognition that they deserve,” he added.

“The interface was custom designed to meet GPRHF’s needs. It’s a first of its kind in Canada, and its abilities are expandable. It can grow as we do,” Curtis explained. “There is a lot of potential on how it can be used to increase the Foundation’s engagement with the community.”

The LED screen has four areas: A donor area where donors names are listed and scroll through according to Foundation program; a video area that displays Foundation videos with closed captions; an Impact area that is used to highlight equipment purchased with donor dollars, donor spotlights and other features; and a banner area at the bottom that will give viewers a bit more insight into Foundation programs, and upcoming events. The wall can also display images at the full screen size.

On the touchscreen portion, visitors to the hospital can search for donors, learn more about GPRHF Board of Trustees, Foundation staff, and details about Foundation programs and events, as well as find easy ways to give a gift of their own.

The wall is named after the late Jim Boccioletti, long time Grande Prairie entrepreneur and amazing community supporter. “This wall not only keeps Jim’s memory alive,” Curtis said, “it memorializes all the great things his life stood for – community, giving back, love of people and everything we can accomplish when we work together and put our hearts and minds into it.”
