Healing Better

At St. Paul’s Hospital, we believe healing starts with being heard.

The future of St. Paul's Hospital

The largest, and most ambitious, health care capital project in Western Canada — The Jim Pattison Medical Campus will set a new standard for medical care in BC.

Reimagining long-term care for seniors

We’re building a future alongside Providence Living where seniors and residents in care feel valued, connected, and supported.

Help build a better health care future for all British Columbians.

Change lives with a monthly gift that brings healing and hope

Help patients like Keith, who lived with debilitating pain for decades until St. Paul’s Hospital doctors finally said, “I believe you.” Your monthly gift can be the start of patient transformations with breakthrough treatments and compassionate care. Other people with chronic pain are still waiting to be heard… your monthly gift can be the start of their journey to healing.

Rewriting the prognosis for sickle cell disease

Diagnosed at six months old, Dammy was given a grim prognosis: he wouldn’t live past 18. But thanks to medical advancements and the care he received at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, he recently celebrated his 40th birthday.

“It was a life-defining change,” Dammy says. “I’ve gone from someone who was just waiting to die to someone who is actually living.”

Our generous donors make it possible to deliver compassionate, innovative care to Dammy, and to tens of thousands of people throughout BC. Learn more about the impact of your giving in our 2024/2025 Annual Report.

Construction is underway for the new St. Paul's Hospital

Drive by on Prior Street or Terminal Avenue and you’ll see the impressive new St. Paul’s Hospital on the Jim Pattison Medical Campus! Sitting on 18 acres just east of downtown Vancouver, this first-in-Canada campus – along the lines of Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic – will drive clinical care and research to advance the health of people across BC and beyond.

The hospital will open its doors to the public in 2027. Construction for the adjacent Clinical Support and Research Centre is also underway for completion in 2029.
