Richmond Hospital Foundation is raising $40 million for the adoption of innovative techniques and new technologies in the Yurkovich Family Pavilion, new acute care tower at Richmond Hospital. The POWER UP campaign is aimed at acquiring innovative solutions and technologies to enhance the patient experience and give health care professionals the future-forward equipment they need to provide patient care safely, quickly, and accurately.

Help POWER UP our future.

Research to Improve Care in Richmond

Donor funding has fuelled a comprehensive effort to help grow the research program in Richmond. Working in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, Richmond Hospital Foundation is enabling the research conducted by our physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to flourish and improve care in Richmond. Research projects include looking at ways to boost prevention of Adverse Drug Events through better understanding of causes and communication as well as using calming “robot” animals to reduce confusion, aggression and anxiety in elderly hospital patients with dementia.

ED Mental Health Campaign

Our community rallied together to raise $1.38 million towards a dedicated space within the Emergency Department where individuals with mental health symptoms can receive patient-centred care and assessment. The new space will open late summer and feature reduced external stimuli via softer lighting, soundproof walls and more privacy in addition to enhanced sightlines for nursing staff to respond effectively to patient needs.

Medical Imaging Centre Campaign

Medical imaging plays a significant role in everyone's health and lives. Richmond Hospital Foundation is raising $25 million to fund excellence and innovative technologies in the expanded, future Medical Imaging Centre which will include an increased number of new CT scanners, MRI machines, mammography machines, SPECT machines, X-Ray machines, and interventional radiology machines.

With donations from our donors, we will be able to increase not only the specialized equipment and the physical space, but also ensure Richmond Hospital is responding to the growing needs of the community with timely, accurate, and the appropriate treatment close to home. Help ensure the medical imaging team at Richmond Hospital have the best tools to make a positive difference in lives of individuals and families.
