The Victoria Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce a major gift of $50,000 from the Northern Lights Community Development Corporation toward our NICU for the North campaign. The campaign gift brings our new fundraising total to $677,000.00 toward the 2.5M goal for new equipment and technology for the expanded NICU set to open this fall.
On behalf of the NLCDC and we are proud to invest in the health of our community and in particular, our most fragile newborns born at the Victoria Hospital. It is important to us to ensure that babies born in our communities, remain as close to home as possible, while receiving the highest standard of care. Our organization’s goal is to achieve healthy, prosperous and sustainable communities and we are proud to partner with the Victoria Hospital Foundation for such an investment in our future. Blake Charles, GM, NLCDC
The “Little Lives-Local Love” initiative was launched in the fall of 2020 kicking off a 2.5 million dollar, multi year campaign to raise money to equip and furnish the new NICU at the Victoria Hospital for every mother and newborn in the north.
The entire NICU project which includes the 2018 construction campaign and the current equipment campaign, is a total 5 million dollar investment into the healthcare of our newborns. The NICU for the North is 100% funded by the Victoria Hospital Foundation with the support of their local community.
“We are honoured and grateful to the Prince Albert Grand Council and the members of the NLCDC for their generous gift to our NICU. Keeping our most fragile babies and their families close to home, is a goal that unites us all and allows us to share a common vision for all families in the north—to ensure that our hospital can always deliver the best healthcare possible for our babies and children.” Sherry Buckler, CEO Victoria Hospital Foundation
