Windsor Plywood Foundation Critical Care Building

In October 2024, we celebrated a significant milestone in our community with the most ambitious campaign in NDHF history. We successfully reached our $5 million goal for the ICU, which has been operating at full capacity since 2023, and raised an additional $5.5 million to equip the HAU and physician offices.

Variety Care Funds Expenses

Variety – the Children’s Charity of BC granted $40,000 to provide support for families traveling to NRGH for vital pediatric care. These funds help cover travel and accommodation expenses for families navigating difficult times, ensuring that children can access the care they need without the added financial stress.

Birthing Beds

With the support of Soirée by the Sea guests, all nine of the Maternity Unit’s new birthing beds were fully funded, enhancing comfort, safety, and accessibility for mothers and healthcare teams. Delivered just months after the event, they’ve already supported bringing safer, more comfortable births to hundreds in our region.

Six Giraffe Omnibed Neonatal Incubators

Thanks to an inspiring outpouring of community support on Giving Tuesday, we exceeded our goal and raised over $505,000—funding six new Giraffe Omnibed Legacy incubators for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. These high-tech incubators provide a controlled, healing environment for premature and critically ill newborns, giving our tiniest patients their strongest start in life. The funds also supported additional equipment for the Perinatal Unit.

New X-ray Suite at Oceanside Health Centre

With heartfelt thanks to a visionary donor, we proudly supported the addition of a new x-ray suite at the Oceanside Health Center-enhancing diagnostic care for over 50,000 residents across Deep Bay, Bowser, Qualicum Bay, Qualicum Beach, French Creek Parksville, Nanoose Bay, Errington, and Coombs. Building on previous investments like a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine, this milestone reflects our shared commitment to delivering timely, high-quality healthcare services across the Oceanside region.
