Nearly one in four Vancouver Islanders is over 65, and that number is growing. That adds more pressure on our hospitals to provide high quality, senior-focused healthcare. I invite you to join me in supporting Seniors Health through this campaign. By raising funds for this essential area of care we can continue to provide compassionate and respectful elder care. Your donation will help fund priority equipment and programs that target this fast-growing group. Our hospitals focus on assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of complex, multi-system conditions, and unique degenerative conditions common to seniors. Elderly patients value their independence. They benefit from a well thought-out facility in which to act on their own recovery with easily accessible assistance when needed, so they can continue to live a fulfilling life. Together, we can invest in equipment that supports our teams as they continues to deliver the highest possible care today for patients and in years to come.
