Visions

The Cause

For 28 years, funds raised at Visions have gone directly towards purchasing equipment for Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals.

In 2018, Visions raised funds to purchase and upgrade a patient monitoring system and other equipment that improve patient care for Vancouver Island residents. A remarkable testament to the generosity of our guests, sponsors and donors, we exceeded our original goal of $725,000 and raised a record-breaking $800,000.

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

2018: Upgraded patient monitoring system and decision-making equipment in every area of care

2017: Cardiac equipment

2016: Surgery equipment

2015: Interventional angiography systems

2014: Transesophageal echocardiogram ultrasounds

2013: Patient Care Centre equipment: vital signs monitors, smart beds, vocera communications devices, wireless telemetry system
