Thank You!291

Elsie Smith left a special legacy with her dear friend Liz Youssef. Before Elsie’s passing she gave Liz all her remaining yarn in order to continue handcrafting and donating her special baby hats for the maternity ward at NRGH. Thank you for this heartfelt gift.

Thank you Joanne for making these lovely heart on your sleeve bracelets in support of our front line health care providers! $10 from each bracelet sold will be donated to the Hospital Foundation. To purchase please contact Joanne directly at joannevanpel@gmail.com.

Thank you to Rina at SCENTSY and her customers for donating SCENTSY Buddies to NRGH again this year!

We can’t thank Dorothy Lupul and her group enough for their continued scrub cap donations. They recently dropped off another 128 scrub caps at NRGH. To date they have donated over 500 scrub caps to health care workers across the island!

Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 for 18 years of giving! Their recent gift of $5,000 was raised through their Poppy Fund and has been donated towards the purchase of the equipment in our new ICU.

Parksville Qualicum Retired Teachers Association donated 100 baby hats to the NICU and Maternity department. All of the hats are in a shade of purple to bring awareness to Shaken Baby Syndrome. Alison Nelner made the presentation on behalf of the group. Thank you so much!

We can’t thank Rob and Melanie enough for their commitment of $10,000 towards purchasing all the state of the art medical equipment in the new Intensive Care Unit. They are encouraging others to help us reach our $5 Million goal!

Thank you Variety the Children’s Charity. Since 1991 they have donated more than $750,000 for families in need at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital!

The Parksville Quilt House Quilters Guild is such an amazing group! They regularly donate beautiful quilts to our hospital through the foundation. Their last donation of 24 quilts are being gratefully distributed between the NICU, cancer and renal dialysis patients.
