PHILANTHROPY IS KEY TO
UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITIES
WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Reflection is a wonderful opportunity. Sometimes in our day-to-day lives, we’re moving so fast, from one thing to the next, we might miss the chance to pause, observe and see how far we’ve come. Writing this note to you, our loyal QEII Foundation donors and friends, is a chance to do just that.
When I take a holistic look at what’s been accomplished this past year and the momentum we have in transforming care through the QEII Health Sciences Centre, it never ceases to amaze me what our donor community makes possible. Your support, paired with the remarkable innovation and care of QEII experts, is a powerful combination.
Tackling the challenges in the healthcare system is not an easy task. That’s why donors are invaluable. Philanthropy is the key to unlocking opportunities within the healthcare system that otherwise would not be possible. At the QEII, this means treatment options that are not offered anywhere else in our region and, in some cases, the world. Life-changing care that is only at the QEII.
As our province’s largest and most specialized hospital, the QEII cares for patients from every community in Nova Scotia and across the region.
The QEII has the highest number of surgical robots in Canada, offering more precise treatment and recovery and attracting the best and brightest surgeons. We have world-renowned researchers and clinicians on the global stage for their work in personalized cancer care. We have specialized cardiac surgery options that are not available elsewhere in the province. And it all comes back to two things: connecting patients and their families to the best possible care and the donors that make it possible.
Your generosity creates more hope, more moments and more opportunities. Thank you.
It takes all of us to advance health care. I’m grateful to our volunteer leadership, who generously share their expertise and time to serve on our board of directors and campaign committees and the incredibly committed QEII Foundation team.
Finally, I offer my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the QEII healthcare teams who inspire and inform our work every day.
