Donor Funding Is Critical For Critical Care Patients
Every year, more than 1,200 people require intensive care at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals.
The variety of equipment necessary to support and monitor patients in critical condition makes intensive care one of the most technologically advanced and resource-demanding areas of the hospital.
“I never imagined having to spend time in critical care, but I’m so grateful I was in Victoria when I needed it. Thanks to our hospitals, I have no lasting effects or health issues.”
— Gordon, Grateful Patient

Through rapid, first-rate care our intensive care teams tirelessly strive to optimize your likelihood of survival. As a trauma patient, you’re at a much higher risk of going into cardiac arrest. That’s why state-of-the-art equipment must be available in the Intensive Care Unit at all times.
