VICTORIA HOSPITALS FOUNDATION’S 30TH ANNUAL VISIONS GALA POSTPONED UNTIL 2021

Charlotte Salomon and Chris Robinson

Local Hospital Heroes Match Public Donations in Lieu of Event

Victoria Hospitals Foundation has made the difficult decision to postpone the 30th anniversary of the annual Visions gala until November 2021. We’re incredibly grateful that the Salomon Robinson Family Foundation will be matching community donations made to Victoria Hospitals Foundation in lieu of the event to a total of $200,000 in support of our latest campaign, It’s Critical.

Together with them, you can give patients in our hospitals access to improved critical care. Donations to support local hospitals and frontline caregivers can be made below. Community members are also invited to create their own fundraising to share with their networks, and businesses are encouraged to get in touch to learn more about how we can work together.

Community Leaders in Conversation: Charlotte Salomon

The Cause: It’s Critical

In response to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s healthcare needs, VHF has launched a $7 million campaign, It’s Critical, to expand critical care capacity at Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) and build the Island’s first High Acuity Unit (HAU).

The first $1 million raised will immediately purchase critical care equipment to increase critical care capacity and equip a temporary High Acuity Unit (HAU) at Royal Jubilee Hospital. The additional $6 million will support the imminent construction of a new permanent High Acuity Unit at Royal Jubilee Hospital, a first for Island Health.

Hear it from the front lines: how It’s Critical will make a difference for our caregivers and patients:

Visions‘ Impact

For 29 years, funds raised at Visions have gone directly towards purchasing equipment for Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals.

In 2019, Visions raised funds to purchase priority, leading-edge imaging equipment for Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals. This powerful equipment includes a CT scanner, 3T MRI, and ultrasounds. With more than 275,000 medical imaging procedures performed at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals annually, it supports decision-making and quality care for Vancouver Island residents. A remarkable testament to the generosity of our guests, sponsors, and donors, we exceeded our original goal of $850,000 and raised a record-breaking $1 million.

Thanks to hundreds of generous leaders in our community, our hospitals have benefited in a variety of areas of care:

  • 2019

    Imaging Equipment

  • 2018

    Upgraded Patient Monitoring System & Decision-Making Equipment

  • 2017

    Cardiac Equipment

  • 2016

    Surgery Equipment

  • 2015

    Interventional Angiography Systems

  • 2014
