Together, we can Emerge Stronger.
Care teams at Royal Jubilee, Victoria General, and Gorge Road hospitals have never needed you more. You can help keep our hospitals on the leading edge and ensure that all Islanders emerge stronger from the lasting effects of the pandemic.
Your Gift to Emerge Stronger Supports Three Focus Areas:
PHASE COMPLETE
Supporting hospital services impacted by the pandemic.
Our hospitals continue to face great stress. Now is the time for our community to recognize our caregivers by providing them with the tools they need.
YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED
Advancing local care to keep Vancouver Island patients close to home.
We have access to world-class care, but some Islanders still need to leave home to get the treatment they need. Together, we can provide a higher level of care right here at home.
NEXT PHASE
Transforming care through technology and research.
Life-changing care and innovation need leaders who can see a better future and act to make it a reality. Together, we can change the face of healthcare on Vancouver Island.
Will you support Emerge Stronger‘s second phase and help keep care local?
“A great stress continues to build on our healthcare system. Equipment renewal is needed much more often than in regular times. Please choose to make an impact today.”
–Avery Brohman, CEO,
Victoria Hospitals Foundation
Your support is the foundation of our hospitals.
It takes all of us to keep our hospitals world-class and ensure our caregivers have the tools they need. We can emerge from challenges stronger and better prepared for tomorrow.
We can Emerge Stronger, but only with your help.
Our hospitals need your help in three core areas—each critical in advancing care today, and expanding capacity for future generations.
O-Arm
Focus Area: Local Care
Cost: $318,000
Adding an O-Arm to our hospitals would be a first for Vancouver Island, advancing neurosurgery locally and keeping complex brain and spinal surgery patients close to home.
Chemistry Line
Focus Area: Innovation
Cost: $1,075,000
Chemistry lines play a key role in the analysis of blood samples. The lab at Royal Jubilee Hospital performs over 3 million tests per year from facilities across Vancouver Island.
Mitral Valve Set
Focus Area: Local Care
Cost: $300,000
New mitral valve equipment helps introduce a minimally invasive cardiac surgery for Island patients, keeping mitral valve surgery patients close to their support network as they recover.
Breast Imaging
Focus Area: Recovery
Cost: $100,000
New breast imaging software will help our caregivers to detect breast cancer. Almost 15,000 breast imaging procedures are performed at Victoria General Hospital every year.
Retinal Laser
Focus Area: Recovery
Cost: $159,000
A state-of-the-art retinal laser will help caregivers treat retinal damage due to diabetes, tears, and age. About 20-25 laser treatments per week are performed on Vancouver Island patients.
How we emerge from the greatest healthcare challenge of our generation is up to us.
You can show our healthcare teams you’re behind them so we can all Emerge Stronger.
