About the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation
Your health and wellness is our business: our mission is to raise funds and awareness to enhance health and wellnes in our community. In 2007, the Foundation launched the ambitious five-project Partners in Caring Campaign.
Now, four years later, all but one are completed:
- The new 5th and 6th floor acute-care unit
- The new MRI
- The new maternity unit
- Centre for Active Living at Centennial Park
Four projects completed in four years. Twenty-five million dollars raised.
This year, and with your support, we raised over $56,000 at the HSBC Securities Great Pumpkin Run/Walk. Money raised will help bring life-saving and life-enhancing medical equipment to Peace Arch Hospital. What does $56,000 of medical equipment look like? Samples of equipment that we hope to fund this year include:
- A Gastroscope for the Endoscopy Unit $39,000
- 2 Geriatric-friendly stretchers for the Emergency Department $30,000
- A Pneumatic retraction arm for the Surgical Unit $60,000
- A Pediatric Colonoscope for the Endoscopy Unit $34,000
- 4 Asthma monitoring systems for the Respiratory Therapy Unit $45,000
