Throughout the highs and lows of the pandemic there has been one constant: our local hospital staff working tirelessly to deliver the best care possible. This holiday season, VICA is rallying support for our front-line healthcare teams in lieu of a Christmas Toy Drive, and shining a light on the Hospital Heroes who have been facing COVID-19 head-on since the start of the pandemic. 

The caregivers in our hospitals are exhausted. They are burnt out. They need support. They need you.

Day and night, our Island Health colleagues change and save lives. They care for the vulnerable, injured, and sick—you, your neighbour, your spouse, your child, your parent. 

They are selfless and dedicated. But they continue to give their all—for all of us. 

More than 7,900 caregivers and staff work around the clock at Royal Jubilee, Victoria General, and Gorge Road hospitals to be there for our loved ones. They are our doctors and nurses. Our clerks and porters. Our teams who clean our hospital rooms and medical equipment. Our colleagues who research, innovate, and educate so that we may have access to the best care when our lives depend on it.

Our hospital staff are being put to the test like never before and this is our time to be there for them. To show our commitment.

Our frontline heroes give their all, every hour of every day, and this is your chance to give back! By donating today, your generous donation will go directly to the comforts of our frontline care teams, so they can take a break, relax, and feel appreciated.

Thank you!
