Victoria Hospitals Foundation (VHF) raises funds for hospital equipment, special projects, training, and research at Royal Jubilee (RJH), Victoria General (VGH), and Gorge Road hospitals. In F2022, VHF granted $10.9m to Island Health, the network overseeing the three hospitals.

In F2022, 92% of the Special Projects grants went to building permanent High Acuity Units at RJH and VGH. High Acuity Units provide more intensive care than normal hospital wards, but not as intensive as Intensive Care Units. They provide intensive care. Another Special Project included increasing bed capacity at the Mental Health Substance Abuse Sub-Acute Unit at RJH (6%).
VHF reports that 40% of the equipment at RJH and VGH is donor-funded.

Results and Impact
VHF reports that each year 40,000 Canadians suffer from recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. diff.). Antibiotics are the usual treatment; but they don’t always work. In F2021, Dr. Christine Lee and her team at the Island Health network conducted research on a new treatment for C. diff called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). VHF reports that FMT is 85% effective in curing recurrent C. diff.
While Charity Intelligence highlights these results, this may not be a complete representation of Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s results and impact.
