Spine surgery patient and donor
“Things can happen at any time and in the unfortunate circumstances it does, the donations that have been made in order to have state of-the-art equipment, the best services and the most amazing staff will make all the difference in your care, treatment, recovery and outcome.”
“Choosing to donate to a hospital which provides a full range of basic and highly specialized emergency health care and trauma services, not just for Vancouver, but for all residents of British Columbia is a priority for our family.”

Grateful patient
“It took a community to save my life. I am forever grateful for the care I received at VGH, and the life-changing gift my kidney donor gave me.”

“Bob was determined to set up a pancreatic research and care initiative to help save others from the same hopeless outcome that he knew was his. [Our] donation is building on his work and continuing the hope that a difference can be made for earlier detection and treatments for other patients with pancreatic cancer.”
