Victoria Hospitals Foundation Surpasses Donation Milestone
Just over a week ago at their annual Visions Gala, the Victoria Hospitals Foundation — a charity that supports Royal Jubilee, Victoria General and Gorge Road hospitals — raised a record $2.51 million. Funds will help upgrade MRI, CT, SPECT/CT and C-Arm scanners at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals, part of the Foundation’s Imaging is Power campaign.
“Our whole community gains from the generosity espoused by the sponsors and guests of Visions,” said Charlotte Salomon, Vision Gala’s Steering Committee Chair. “The funds raised here stay in our local hospitals, ensuring the care teams, who so diligently care for others, have access to the best equipment available.”
