About Lion’s Gate Hospital Foundation

LGH Foundation has recently used 50/50 funds to purchase much-needed medical equipment to enhance the hospital. From a treadmill for the Cardiology Department, to specialized sleeper chairs for patient rooms at the North Shore Hospice and a brand new electric cast saw and extraction system for the Cast Clinic, the funds from our monthly draws help our medical teams provide top-notch care to their patients.

Our donors have a big impact on the quality of treatment and care available to patients. Just recently, donor generosity funded two important new units at LGH. The High Acuity Unit provides advanced care to patients with complex health care needs while the Psychiatric Emergency Assessment and Treatment area in Emergency offers specialized care to patients with mental health and substance use issues. More than 1,000 patients have been treated at PEAT since it opened last fall and close to 70,000 people a year are now seen in the Emergency Department.

These groundbreaking new services would not be possible without the help of our donors.

LGH Foundation raises funds to support better patient care at all publicly funded health care facilities on the North Shore. Money raised from the LGH 50/50 will be used to support everyone from newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to vulnerable elderly patients.

The LGH 50/50, kindly sponsored by the Old Spaghetti Factory, is an easy way for you to support the Foundation. LGH is the hospital for the North Shore – The Hospital for Here and the funds raised will stay right in our community.

It’s super easy to purchase tickets here. They cost $10 for 20 tickets; $20 for 100 tickets and $50 for 250 tickets. Good luck!

Participants must be 19+ to play and a resident of British Columbia.

Try your luck in the Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, November 10, 2023 — Try your luck with St. Paul’s Foundation’s Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle. One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly towards supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC. Over $238,000 in cash prizes have been awarded to date.

You can help support the youngest patients at Providence Health Care.

BiliBlanket Phototherapy Lights is designed to support the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia, also known as jaundice in newborns. The UV phototherapy helps infants at risk for severe jaundice break down and remove the bilirubin that is in their blood, preventing the threat of severe brain damage.

Portable Biliblankets also help promote bonding between newborns and parents or caregivers that traditional phototherapy treatment can not provide. The baby can be held, fed, even rocked throughout the therapy session, without interrupting the benefits of skin-to-skin and kangaroo care. It promotes a nurturing environment that encourages and supports healthy and healing interactions.

Your ticket purchase will help the Pregnancy, Birthing, and Newborn Centre at Providence provide greater access to the developmental and health benefits of these portable BiliBlanket Phototherapy Lights.

A humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence.

Support the tiniest patients. Buy your tickets today.

Tickets are available for purchase from Nov 1 through 30. The winner will be drawn on Dec 4. Ticket bundles are available, and can increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50 (the very best value and your best chance to win)

Get your tickets on the Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle website.

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

 

About St. Paul’s Foundation
