A shorter Name and a Fresh New Look.
November 17th, 2011 -The Squamish Hospital Foundation, (formerly the Squamish Health Care Foundation Society), is excited to launch its new branding this month. Recently, through a thorough process of review and design, the Foundation decided on a fresh, energetic new look, to better represent the organization today.
Part of the rebranding has been to rename the Foundation. The Squamish Hospital serves the entire region from Lillooet to Squamish, not just the direct community of Squamish. Changing the name to the Squamish Hospital Foundation, will help to ensure that people outside of the District of Squamish understand that they too benefit from the funds raised by the Foundation.
Established by the late Doctor Laverne Kindree in 1995, The Squamish Hospital Foundation is dedicated to raising funds to help meet the health care needs of the residents and visitors of Squamish and the Sea to Sky Corridor. Donations help to ensure that our healthcare professionals have the resources they need to provide quality health care. Gifts to the Foundation from generous supporters are used to purchase state of the art equipment for the Squamish Hospital and other community health care service providers. Donations to the Foundation are instrumental in ensuring the needs of our growing community are continually being met.
Recently the Foundation has contributed to the much needed upgrades to the pharmacy unit. The new pharmacy will accommodate increasing demand for service, provide a safer environment that meets WorkSafe BC requirements, and will be fully equipped to accommodate chemotherapy preparation for patients undergoing out?patient treatment for cancer at Squamish General Hospital.
Other recent equipment purchases paid for by donations made to the Foundation, are a fetal monitor, a surgical table, C-arm X ray, CT Training, large screen TV for palliative care lounge, a vital signs monitor, and a cast saw.
For more information please go to the Foundation’s new website squamishhospital.com or check out the very impressive new donor recognition board with interactive display in the main admitting area of the Squamish Hospital.
As our community grows, the health care needs grow also. Please consider making a donation today in person, by mail or online. Ways to donate include; becoming a monthly donor; making an annual donation; donating in someone’s name; or giving a one time gift.
Your community. Your Health. Be a part of it! Donate Today
