So what else is new for the Foundation?
Thematic Giving will be a game changer:

We believe the Foundation’s historical and current focus on singular major projects is
inadvertently causing us to leave money on the table. While we have been very
effective at raising money for projects like equipping the ICU, we know there are
many donors for whom this did not resonate.

In early 2022, the Foundation developed the Vision 2030 document which led
to conversations with Island Health around supplementing our traditional major
project focus with thematic areas of need. Where to focus became part of our
strategic planning, and many lively debates followed, leading to the following six
areas of focus for the foreseeable future:

1. Cancer Care 4. Heart and Stroke Care

• The design of this will depend on • Cath Lab
the decisions being made around • Equipment
a regional Cancer Centre.
5. Innovation
2. Community & Family Health
• Advocacy
• Children’s health • Laboratory Services
• Family doctor recruitment support • Medical Imaging
with the Division of Family Practice • Medical professional education
• Occupational health • Pharmacy
• Palliative Care
• Seniors care 6. Mental Health
• Support for our nurses, education, etc.
• Medical Detox
3. Critical Care • VI Scan
• Youth Wellness outreach
• Acute care – Emergency, ICU and HAU
• Surgery Note: Support for Indigenous Healthcare
is a theme woven through all we seek

to support.
