Greetings from the Foundation!First and foremost, thank you for your continued support. By donating, participating in our events, volunteering, and hosting fundraisers you make progressive healthcare possible for each person on Central Vancouver Island. It cannot be said enough, thank you.

In April of 2014 we formally announced our newest Campaign. Together with our donors, we aspire to raise $1.5 million to equip two new Operating Rooms in the Surgical Suites at NRGH. This is 50% of the total cost; the balance will be shared by the provincial government ($900,000) and the Nanaimo Regional Hospital District ($600,000). This addition will make a significant difference to patients undergoing surgery at NRGH.

Yet, that’s not all. We have also begun to lay plans to support enhanced Cardiology Services at NRGH, and are in the early stages of developing a funding plan for potential redevelopment of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Imagine! Increased Operating Rooms, enhanced Cardiology Services and the potential for ICU redevelopment – these additions will expand medical options substantially. What a difference it will make to each of us.

Each year the Board of Directors establishes a set of goals to advance healthcare opportunities. These goals are determined through donor feedback, ethical standardization, and the experiential knowledge of each Foundation team member. At the start of 2014 we coordinated a “stakeholder survey” to evaluate and design our directives. As a result, we established short and long term goals to guide the Foundation through to 2019.

Yes! I want to support my Hospital!

Thank you for your support!

Our Events - Thank you for your Support! The Foundation Family Code Brew

The heart of NRGH, Code Brew staff, distributes refreshments to staff, patients, and visitors each day. In July 2014 Code Brew celebrated its 14th anniversary as an essential part of the Foundation family. Established in 2000, Code Brew was a model that broke custom as not-for-profit organizations did not traditionally own and operate revenue generating businesses. However, it was the second business the Foundation owned, Nanaimo Lifeline was the first.

Since it opened for business Code Brew has continually evolved to meet the needs of changing demographics. It has been a platform from which young people could gain experience, and a venue where volunteers could give back. In the last fiscal year 16 part-time and full-time employees ensured the kiosk ran smoothly. The majority of these employees are high school or university students in their first jobs. Enhancing service and fundraising capacity, Code Brew is also helped by 14 volunteers. The coffee kiosk is open 6:30am to 8:30pm daily every day of the year (some holidays have shorter hours). All proceeds are reinvested into healthcare on Central Island.

Our Shared Successes 2013-014 This is some of the equipment you helped purchase!• Automatic Blood Pressure Pumps for Medical Imaging• Bioness System for Rehab Unit• Cabinet Blanket Warmer for Emergency Department• Central Monitoring System (partial payment) for Neonatal Unit • Colour Multiscan Video Printer for Colonoscopy • Cystoscopes for Urology• Digital Mammography System (partial payment) for Medical (partial payment) for Medical (partial payment)

“The number of clients in the Oceanside area has held relatively steady during 2013-14, although the Nanaimo area had a slight downturn in client numbers. This was partially due to one facility introducing its own call buttons and opting for the “in-house” system. Also, there were fewer new installations in 2013-14 compared to the previous five years. This is the first year with a downturn in client numbers since beginning in 1987.

If you would like to help someone with limited resources afford Lifeline, you can do so by donating to the Silent Guardian Fund.

New to Nanaimo Lifeline in the last year is “Project Lifesaver”. Project Lifesaver is an international support system wherein users who are prone to wander from home wear a transmitter bracelet that can be tracked by Search and Rescue teams. Clients may have Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, autism, Down Syndrome, developmental disorders, or brain injury. On average, clients who become lost are found within 30 minutes. Nanaimo Lifeline has partnered with Arrowsmith Search & Rescue and Nanaimo Search & Rescue to benefit Central Island communities. Contact Nanaimo Lifeline about their monitoring services or Project Lifesaver call 250-739-5770 or toll-free from Oceanside 250-947-8213or email [email protected]”

Nanaimo Lifeline Program Report 2013-2014As a Foundation we try to present appealing and purposeful ways to engage donors in fundraising activities. Our events have grown and evolved over the years thanks to your trust and the healthcare vision we share. Last year, on its 20th anniversary, the Golf for Life hosted a sell-out with 144 golfers and raised almost $100,000 for equipment at NRGH. The 2014 Lotto for Life rang in its 21st year. However, ticket sales dipped slightly and only 4,350 of 5,000 sold. The Lotto revamped its approach and held a single Grand Prize Draw, rather than both an Early Bird and a Final Draw. Despite lower ticket sales, $435,000 was raised; 100 prizes were awarded with a trend towards more cash prizes.

Celebrating its 11th year this past May, the Run for Life attracted 213 participants, and 50 volunteers from our Financial Institution partners. More than $37,000 was raised for the Operating Rooms Campaign; this was the largest amount raised to date. Also gaining in popularity are our Learn for Life lecture series held each spring in Nanaimo and Oceanside. This year several hundred attendees learned about Skin Cancer, Heart Health, and Palliative Care. Look for ads in local media or check the Foundation website for dates and topics each spring. Thank you for continuing your support through gifts and participation.
