OVERVIEW

About Lions Gate Hospital Foundation:

Lions Gate Hospital Foundation is a 1-star charity. It has a D in results reporting, meaning it publically reports little information on its grants and their impact. The charity has $93.6m in funding reserves that can cover grants for over 28.8 years. Before you giveread Charity Intelligences report. 

Founded in 1981, Lions Gate Hospital Foundation (LGHF) raises funds for health care centres in northern Vancouver. The main beneficiary is Lions Gate Hospital. LGHF also sponsors Cedarview Lodge, Evergreen House and seven other hospitals. LGHF focuses on enhancing patient care and purchasing new equipment to respond to advances in medical technology. In F2021, grants went to LGH NOW (an outpatient care centre), a medical and surgical care centre, surgical hospice expansion, fluoroscopy/x-ray machines, youth mental health unit and equipment, as well as other minor projects.  

LGHF reported the purchase of a new CT scanner, which allowed the medical imaging department to perform over 20,000 CT scans each year. In addition, the palliative care team on the North Shore currently connects with about 800 patients yearly. LGHF is currently raising funds for a 225,000-square-foot medical and surgical centre which will open by 2023.

Results and Impact

In F2019, Lions Gate Hospital Foundation reports that with the installation of the fluoroscopy unit, Lions Gate Hospital’s x-ray capacity has increased by as much as 50%, meaning speedier access to imaging for patients, and less waiting time for diagnosis.

While Ci highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Lions Gate Hospital Foundation's results and impact.
