OVERVIEW

About Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation:

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation (QEHF) raises funds for medical equipment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH). According to the Foundation, QEH is the largest healthcare provider in Prince Edward Island and provides 80% of all specialized healthcare services received by Islanders.

As of F2020, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation operates an annual Friends for Life campaign, which raises funds to purchase priority medical equipment for the year. The Foundation reports that covid-19 is hindering the ability of elderly Islanders to receive vision-restoring surgeries. This is because QEH cannot perform surgeries for retinal diseases and detachment, which means patients must travel to Halifax and Quebec City for treatment. As such, QEHF is fundraising for three pieces of equipment to perform sight-saving surgeries in Prince Edward Island.  

In F2020, QEHF funded the purchase of a new video rhinolaryngoscope, which helps people with head and neck cancer. Additionally, the Foundation funded the purchase of an automated CPR device and the upgrade of ear, nose, and throat operating equipment.

Recent News: In F2020, QEH shifted its operations to prepare for covid-19. QEHF funded the purchase of nine pulse oximeters, two reverse osmosis machines, and two handheld portable ultrasound machines.

Results and Impact

In F2020, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation funded the purchase of a $1.5m CT Simulator for PEI Cancer Treatment Centre. The Foundation estimates that approximately 1,000 Prince Edward Island residents will be diagnosed with cancer in the upcoming year, and half will require radiation treatment. QEHF reports the new CT Simulator will provide high-quality images, allowing healthcare providers to clearly identify the exact location, shape, and size of the tumour to be treated.

While Charity Intelligence highlights these key results, they may not be a complete representation of Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation’s results and impact. This charity is not yet rated on impact (n/r).
