Hospital Employees Union Gives Back

By Celebrate!, News, Thank You!
Members of the Hospital Employees Union (HEU) love to give back by donating a portion of their union dues to NRGH. On April 5, a few members presented Child Life Specialist Sandra Hirota with a donation of $500 in support of children’s toys and specialty items for the Paediatric department. Brave children who undergo medical treatments have the opportunity to feel like a kid again by being given the gift of play during trying times in their lives.
We are deeply grateful to the HEU for their care and consideration.

March 30 is Doctors Day

By Kudos, News, Thank You!

Right now, doctors around the world are dedicating their lives to the health of those around them. They sacrifice their energy, time, and lives to treating the sick, comforting patient families, training their successors, and instrumentally creating a safer and more prosperous world. Our doctors at NRGH provide high quality care for anyone from central and north Vancouver Island who needs them, from mending broken bones to chemotherapy for cancer patients, from life support for premature babies to palliative care for the elderly. For all you do for us, we honour and thank you.

We Remember Brenda

By Memorial Tributes, News, Thank You!
Brenda Rositano worked for the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation beginning in 2000 until she passed away in 2019. Today, four generations of Brenda’s family came to make a donation to the hospital in her memory. Her brother is visiting from Australia, and came in to enjoy a coffee at the beautiful Code Brew at NRGH, which was completely rebuilt last year. The opening was dedicated to Brenda’s memory.
The Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation is grateful to Brenda’s family for their ongoing support of the hospital, and honouring Brenda’s memory in such a special way.

Who inspires you?

By News

Who inspires you? This is what we asked the staff at NRGH this past week and were flooded with nominations for their colleagues that inspire them, for a chance to win a Tigh-Na-Mara prize package valued over $2,000! This incredible prize was donated by Sean Martin and Elise Morgan of RBC Dominion Securities. We cannot thank these two community leaders enough for this generous donation that brought out so many beautiful stories and a much appreciated boost in morale. Thank you!
