Investing in the Future of Healthcare
We are at a defining moment for healthcare in our region. Concept plans are approved for expansion at NRGH. It’s a major step towards having the tertiary programs we need to care for our aging and growing community.
Recruiting healthcare workers is competitive, but with your support we will have the most competitive program.

Seniors Outpatient Clinic
Opening in 2026, the Nanaimo Health Centre Seniors Outpatient Clinic will improve how our community receives care, by expanding and updating outpatient care including wound care and infusion services, and enabling an additional 16,000 patients a year to access care. Located at the Grant Avenue Clinic on the NRGH campus, the new clinic will provide patients the specialized support they need outside of the hospital through 7-day a week service.
