The life-changing impact of your support: a grateful welcome to 2025

Published

As the calendar turns to 2025, we want to pause and reflect on the incredible generosity and compassion shown by supporters like you throughout 2024. Your unwavering commitment to our mission fills us with gratitude and inspires us to do even more in the year ahead.

Because of you, we can fund the programs and technology across all Providence Health Care sites that contribute to saving lives.

Your consistent support funds critical treatments like the heart transplant surgery that Christine underwent at St. Paul’s Hospital. Because of the expert care she received, Christine can be with her family and watch her daughter, Melanie, grow up.

At St. Paul’s Hospital, I have faced some of the most difficult times in my life. In other hospital settings, I haven’t received care that has been as consistently kind, caring, and thoughtful.

Christine’s story is just one of countless examples of how your generosity changes lives across our health care facilities. Your committed generosity provides the equipment needed by physicians and health care workers to make these life-saving procedures possible. 

Here are just a few ways your support has made a difference this past year:

– Hire medical specialists who perform complex heart surgeries, like Christine’s

– Place essential tools in the hands of our physicians and health care workers

– Afford critical upgrades in hospital equipment

– Build a bigger – and better – new St. Paul’s Hospital on the Jim Pattison Medical Campus that will open in 2027

Your donation has an impact on every patient, residents, family members, and departments across all Providence Health Care hospitals and long-term care homes in BC.

As we look to 2025, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. With your help, St. Paul’s Foundation can ensure the extraordinary level of care our patients receive, and all of the medical advancements they benefit from, are available to anyone who comes to St. Paul’s Hospital or a Providence Health Care facility.

Thank you for your trust and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together in the coming year!
