OVERVIEW

About Victoria Hospitals Foundation:

Victoria Hospitals Foundation is a 4-star charity. It is financially transparent and has reasonable overhead costs. However, its results reporting grade is below average.

Victoria Hospitals Foundation (VHF) raises funds for hospital equipment, special projects, training, and research at Royal Jubilee, Victoria General, and Gorge Road hospitals. In F2021, VHF granted $8.3m to Island Health, the network overseeing the three hospitals. The largest amounts were allocated to maternity & pediatric care (20%), cardiac care (19%), and critical care (13%).

VHF reports that 40% of the equipment at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals is funded by donors. In F2021, VHF funded the purchase of 255 pieces of equipment serving 273,900 patients. This included a CMAC and ventilator used in the pediatric ICU, portable echocardiography technology, a continuous renal replacement therapy machine, a new 3T MRI, a physiatry ultrasound machine, and a Nursing Annie simulator.

VHF also funded scholarships and bursaries for 64 Island Health employees to help them continue their education and training and funded 17 researchers for their research projects.

Results and Impact

VHF reports that the population of adults over 75 served by Island Health is expected to grow by 66% in the next 10 years. This will increase the need for critical care services. The interim High Acuity Unit became operational in F2021. This increased critical care capacity by 37%.

While Charity Intelligence highlights these results, this may not be a complete representation of Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s results and impact.
