The Stephens Family

Inspired by a deep commitment to community well-being and social responsibility, the Stephens family has made a transformative gift to help bring SFU’s School of Medicine's vision to life.

Values-driven entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Ratana and Arran Stephens—co-founders of Nature’s Path Organic Foods—and their children Arjan, Jyoti, Gurdeep, and Shanti have long championed sustainability, inclusivity, and purpose-led leadership.

Their vision aligns closely with SFU’s mission and with a future of medicine rooted in primary care and community partnership. The Stephens family’s generosity will shape how physicians are educated and how primary care is delivered across B.C. for generations to come.
