Hear from VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation President and CEO, Angela Chapman about how Brain Breakthroughs are being made in BC with your support.
Thanks to your generous support for the Brain Breakthroughs campaign, VGH was able to purchase cutting edge equipment that will aid physicians in saving lives for generations to come. This will help them make more accurate assessments, diagnoses and treatment decisions when time means everything.
Because of your generosity, researchers have made breakthrough advancements across a spectrum of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, MS, OCD, and depression.
Thanks to philanthropic support of Brain Breakthroughs, teams were able to jumpstart or expand various neurology fellowship programs, from stroke and epilepsy to neurocritical care.
Your generosity helped provide fellows with the training and experience to become future leaders in their field. They will take this knowledge with them wherever they may practice to help more patients.
We are grateful to our volunteer cabinet members who have partnered with us to raise awareness and funds to help make brain breakthroughs possible.
