Donor Funding Is Critical For Critical Patients
The variety of equipment necessary to support and monitor patients in critical condition makes intensive care one of the most technologically advanced and resource-demanding areas of the hospital.
“I never imagined having to spend time in critical care, but I’m so grateful I was in Victoria when I needed it. Thanks to our hospitals, I have no lasting effects or health issues.”
— Gordon, Grateful Patient
Every year, more than 1,200 people require intensive care at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals
Every 60 seconds, survival rates decrease 10% for someone in cardiac arrest
Through rapid, first-rate care our intensive care teams tirelessly strive to optimize your likelihood of survival. As a trauma patient, you’re at a much higher risk of going into cardiac arrest. That’s why state-of-the-art equipment must be available in the Intensive Care Unit at all times.

Our trauma centres provide the highest level of care
If you have a traumatic accident, you will likely end up at Royal Jubilee or Victoria General hospitals
These are Vancouver Island’s two intensive care referral centres. Our hospitals’ intensive care teams are recognized for their agility, dedication, and expertise.
10 specially trained physicians and numerous nurses, therapists, and pharmacists use sophisticated equipment to provide rapid information and aid with life-saving decisions.
Victoria General Hospital, as the only Level 3 trauma centre in the region, provides the highest level of care, from resuscitation to rehabilitation.
Patient Spotlight: Michele
What began as an overnight stay for observation turned into a life-changing experience in the ICU.
“Things can go sideways, really fast… Now I know how important it is to help fund this equipment, and to have it right here at home.”
