Thank you to Alexa & Josh for raising $150 through their lemonade stand for the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation. Well done! Their donation will help build a new surgical suite for the Endoscopy Department at NRGH.
Thank you to CIBC for their generous $10,000 donation! The funds will be used towards the new surgical suite for the Endoscopy Department at NRGH!
Colonoscopies make up 80% of the procedures and can be life saving. They are used to diagnose and, in some cases, can prevent serious illnesses such as colon cancer. Once the new surgical suite is complete, capacity will increase up to 35%. Wait times will be greatly reduced for patients in central Vancouver Island.

The 26th annual Golf for Life tournament raised over $94,000 due to the generous support of our sponsors, donors, golfers and volunteers! Presented by Coastal Community private Wealth Group and hosted by Fairwinds Golf Club, this year’s tournament saw a return to beautiful weather for the 136 golfers who participated.
The greens were in fantastic condition and everyone had fun trying to get the best score and attempt a hole in one for great prizes including cash, a new car, a trip and golf for a year!
Last year’s team remained undefeated this year – perhaps in 2020 will see new tournament champions?!
All the funds raised are supporting our campaign to build a new surgical suite for the Endoscopy Department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. For details on this vital project, click here.
