It’s Time For Surgical Innovation
With the great momentum felt within our community, including during last year’s record-breaking Visions gala, and the drive of our caregivers to do better for our patients, the Foundation is committing its largest investment into RJH and VGH. It’s Time will be a campaign that takes several years and ties in several Visions galas, to shape and catalyze the hospital care all Islanders rely on.
Visions 2024 will support the campaign’s first phase, It’s Time for Surgical Innovation to initialize surgical robotics on the Island, and bring in new, state-of-the-art surgical tools across multiple surgical specialties. It’s Time for Surgical Innovation will redefine the landscape of surgeries offered on Vancouver Island.
Together with our surgeons joining us for an evening of purpose, you can help reinvent local cancer care, foster surgical innovation, and keep advanced care local.
