Story
Any person could find themselves in need of our Emergency Departments, at any moment, for any reason.
We invite you to show your support by creating a fundraiser through our Emergency & Trauma Care Campaign. By raising funds for Emergency & Trauma Care, with the right equipment, our care teams can quickly diagnose, speed up response times and save lives.
With Victorias growing and aging population, the visits to the Emergency Departments of Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals have increased 13% over the last five years. With over 320 patients per day, resulting in 120,000 visits per year, your donations help the busiest emergency rooms on the Island provide the very best care.
The uncertainty that comes with admittance through the Emergency Department can be a stressful experience. However, our triage nurses can quickly identify whether you require critical, acute or ambulatory care. Our patients can take comfort in knowing that regardless of the illness or injury, our Emergency Departments provide quality care as quickly as possible. Every moment counts.
That July, my life could have ended in a heartbeat. If I hadn't received the care I needed the moment I needed it, I most likely wouldn't be here to write this letter to you. That's what I think about now - how grateful I am that we have this state-of-the-art, healing hospitals and a Foundation that supports our doctors and nurses in doing their finest work. - Mel Cooper, Past Patient
Your fundraiser allows the opportunity to recognize the entire Emergency & Trauma Care teams for their dedicated work and empowers them to save lives by funding critically needed equipment. With your donations we can invest in our teams as they continue to deliver the highest possible care today for patients and in years to come.
On behalf of the Emergency & Trauma Care teams, thank you so much for your donations and support. We are all truly grateful.
