LGH 50/50 Helps Save Lives

North Vancouver, BC, August 10, 2023 — Tickets sales are now open for the LGH 50/50 – the biggest draw on the North Shore. The August lottery run by Lions Gate Hospital (LGH) Foundation helps raise funds to bring life-changing care to everyone in our community.

The draw takes place on Tuesday, August 15 and the jackpot already stands at more than $15,000.

The bigger the jackpot, the more you win! The bigger the jackpot, the more you help dedicated health care teams to save lives and enhance care and treatment for patients.

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 at lgh5050.com. 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. Gaming Event Licence #141225

Music therapy programs bring so much happiness to patients and residents

Soundbeam is an instrument that uses motion sensors to detect movements and turn them into music. Lucy Thomas, a music therapist at St. Vincent’s: Langara, uses Soundbeam to help long-term care residents find joy even if they have limited mobility or vocal abilities.

Residents can make music with just a wave of a hand or a wiggle of a toe. Some residents have illnesses or conditions that make movement difficult, so this adaptive technology has a truly positive impact on their quality of life. It gives them the opportunity to create and enjoy beautiful music regardless of their ability or skill level.

Your purchase will support many wonderful music initiatives across Providence’s network of hospitals and residences, including access to musical instruments and musical programming.

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