The Common Good, an initiative of The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation, is established to help people live healthier for longer.
Through the power of the collective, we support and facilitate the work of incredible researchers who are dedicated to making breakthroughs in the areas of heart disease, lung disease, mental health, and dementia.
Researchers rely on time to make medical breakthroughs that go on to save lives. Our goal is to provide them with as much time as possible in the hopes of changing lives for the better all around the world.
What we do
We’ve quantified that every
We communicate with our donors to let them know when the Time they gave us is being used, and how their contribution is making a real impact
Our research space is unique in that researchers have timely access to patient samples and work directly with frontline health professionals in a teaching hospital environment
We focus on funding innovative research that has the potential to have a very real and profound impact
We operate commercial businesses to help self-fund our charitable operations
We offer people hope and inspiration to encourage involvement without 'guilting' people into giving.
To sustainably fund medical innovation, we have to consider doing things differently both in how we run our operations and engage our stakeholders
