Oceanside Health Centre Urgently Needs New Vital Signs Monitors

Will you help us replace aging equipment and improve care for everyone? 

Our Community is Growing – We Need More Equipment to Meet the Demand

When you or a loved one arrives at Oceanside Health Centre, the first step is checking vital signs — heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. 
But our monitors are aging, and we just don’t have enough. With demand doubling in recent years, doctors and nurses urgently need new equipment to ensure fast, accurate diagnoses. We need more monitors so our medical teams can continue to give the best possible care to every patient who walks through the door.

Act now! Your donation ensures patients get care without delay. 

Every Second Counts 

A vital signs monitor is often the first tool to detect life-threatening conditions—sometimes before symptoms appear. 
 
Faster care means better outcomes. When a machine breaks down, we see fewer patients, lengthening wait times and delaying diagnoses.

Your gift today helps keep care close to home. 

Why Your Gift Matters

Together, we can replace aging monitors and improve care for everyone.

34 monitors are needed – each costs $7,000. Your donation today makes an immediate impact. When you donate, you are:

  • Investing in Long-Term Health & Well-being: Your donation provides the latest medical technology, improving healthcare for our community now and for years to come.
  • Taking Personal Responsibility: By giving today, you are taking action to strengthen healthcare in our region—helping ensure that every patient gets the care they need, when they need it.
  • Building Trust and Confidence: With the support of generous donors like you, the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation has a proven track record of funding critical healthcare improvements. Together, we can continue to be a reliable partner in delivering exceptional medical care.
We Can’t Afford to Wait – Neither Can Our Patients 

The Urgent Care Unit at Oceanside Health Centre was built to serve 60-80 patients per day. Today, it sees over 136 — nearly double the capacity. The need for modern, reliable monitors has never been greater. 

What Your Donation Can Do:

  • $7,000 funds a full monitor 
  • $3,500 funds half a monitor 
  • $1,000 helps equip our urgent care team 

This is urgent—help us reach our goal and provide the equipment our healthcare teams need to deliver the care you and your loved ones deserve.

Share this campaign with friends and family—because access to care should never be compromised.
