YOUR IMPACT
YOUR IMPACT
Your support ensures our healthcare teams stay on the leading-edge of technology and treatment to provide the best possible patient care.
Together, you fund 40% of the equipment in our hospitals. This showcases your commitment to leading-edge care on Vancouver Island, your support of the brilliant work our care teams provide and your investment in their talents to help attract and retain the best and brightest.
In 2023/24, your support meant the Foundation earned revenue of over $15.4 million to fund thousands of urgently needed pieces of equipment in our hospitals. These advanced tools will help our hospitals transform the lives of local patients for years to come. Thank you.
We are stronger together and giving makes us all better.
Working together to improve patient outcomes
We are proud to say, funds raised in this community stay in this community. Your giving allows our hospitals’ medical teams to have the tools they need to provide the best possible patient care.
Every year, the Victoria Hospitals Foundation works with Island Health to determine the most urgent equipment, special projects, education and research needs to provide support for all medical specialties at Royal Jubilee Hospital & Victoria General Hospital, and Gorge Road Health Centre
The importance of equipment
There are more than 8,900 staff and physicians in our Victoria hospitals. Their experience, training and teamwork enable them to make quick, informed decisions, but they need the latest equipment to do their best work and perform advanced procedures.
Much like any technology, hospital equipment changes quickly. Ensuring our caregivers have tools of the highest quality means our Vancouver Island patients can continue to receive excellent care. Donor funding allows us to purchase equipment sooner and more often, ensuring leading-edge care for patients across Vancouver Island.
Last year, your generosity brought 170 pieces of equipment into our hospitals.
“I never imagined, given my age and good health, I’d have to count on my hospital to keep me alive. But strange as it is to say, I feel lucky this happened in Victoria, where we’re blessed to have incredible doctors with advanced equipment.”
