Supporting Care For The Whole Family
Supporting Care For The Whole Family
Every year, Victoria General Hospital welcomes over 3,000 newborns, and cares for more than 2,000 kids from our Island. Nothing is quite as frightening or vulnerable for a family as when a child gets sick; but when that happens, our specialized care teams are there.
Home to one of only four high-level neonatal intensive care (NICU) units in BC, and one of only two pediatric intensive care (PICU) units in BC, our hospitals are at the forefront of maternity & pediatric care.
You can help to enable the best possible care for families on our Island with a donation today.
“Today, we are beyond happy to have our joyful and active boy back and on the road to recovery. We owe it to our hospitals.”
— Stephanie, Mom To Pediatric Patient Asher
Starting Kids Off Strong
Starting Kids Off Strong
From prenatal care to teen’s health, our teams of pediatric specialists including obstetricians, neonatologists, surgeons, nurses, midwives, therapists, and more work together to provide coordinated care.
Neo-natal and pediatric medicine is advancing rapidly, and with the help of donors, we can invest in advanced equipment that supports our teams as they strive to set families up for healthy futures.
One In Six Babies Depend On The NICU
One In Six Babies Depend On The NICU
Of the thousands of babies born annually at Victoria General Hospital, one in six spends time in the NICU. These include premature infants and those experiencing complications from cardiac, respiratory, ophthalmological, or auditory issues. With the help of neonatal equipment, our teams perform life-saving work every day.

Donors Make A Difference For Our Kids
60% of NICU equipment and 80% of PICU equipment is funded by donors like you.
Every year, your support funds:
- Medical care for 7,000 visits to the Antenatal Assessment Unit for high-risk pregnancy patients
- Life-saving outpatient cancer treatment for more than 320 kids in our Oncology Clinic
- New pediatric equipment so that less than 2% of cases need to transfer to Vancouver
Patient Spotlight: Odette & Sophie
We Didn’t Expect To Need Hospital Care
“Odette was only a day old when she had her very first MRI scan at VGH, which marked the beginning of a very long care journey for our family… Now these scans are our lifeline.”
