Thank you!
Because of the generosity of our donors, we are thrilled to announce that we raised $1.3 Million dollars for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital during Light The Trees. Thank you to the 1,700 donors who gave over 2,000 gifts, making this a record-breaking fundraising total for us. But, we are just getting started! We have committed to $5 Million dollars for the future High Acuity Unity at NRGH, and have some great events and programs coming in 2023 to help us get there. Stay tuned!
Happy birthday Nanaimo Regional General Hospital!
“Born” on Jan 6, 1963, the hospital has been a fixture of health and wellness in our region for over 6 decades, serving over 440,000 island residents north of the Malahat. In lieu of gifts this 60th birthday, it’s asked that donations can be made to the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation in support of the future High Acuity Unit in the new ICU. An essential addition to the hospital that provides the best possible care for our most critically ill and injured patients.
We are so excited to announce that with the help of our friends and neighbours, we raised $140,456 for the new Sentimag System at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital on our first ever Giving Tuesday initiative!
An incredible group of community leaders, including our Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation, the Nanaimo Foundation, the Tom Harris Community Foundation, the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival, and the Abreast of Life Dragon Boat Team united to make a difference for our hospital this holiday season! Together, they have made significant gifts toward the purchase of the Sentimag System that will support people experiencing breast cancer in our region.
We are so grateful for this amazing show of support. Thank you so much to everyone who has now made the purchase of this essential piece of cancer treatment equipment, as well as a year’s worth of operational costs, possible.
