Quality of life is an important part of patient care. The Hospital Foundation is committed to helping make residents as comfortable as possible. The smallest things can make a difference in patient quality of life like this aquarium at Trillium Lodge in Parksville. The little schools of fish bring a smile to the lodge residents as well as staff and visitors.
Thank you to Public and Private Workers of Canada – PPWC Local 8 for their $250 donation for our campaign to build a new Endoscopy surgical suite at NRGH! We are grateful for their ongoing support of vital projects such as this one. When complete, wait times for important procedures such as colonoscopies will be reduced and more people will get the care they need closer to home.
Thank you to the Nanaimo Quilters’ Guild for their donation of beautiful quilts for VISCAN (Vancouver Island Suspected Child Abuse Network). These lovely quilts will provide comfort for Vancouver Island’s most vulnerable children.

All the plants sold at the sale are cultivated by their members and are of such good quality that people return year after year to buy them!
