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 raffle 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.

Help share the joy of music! Buy your tickets today.

VANCOUVER, BC, February 23, 2024 — Try your luck with St. Paul’s Foundation’s Winter 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 $307,220 in cash prizes have been awarded to date.

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

BiliBlanket Phototherapy Lights are designed to support the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia, also known as jaundice in newborns. The UV phototherapy helps infants at risk for severe jaundice by breaking down and removing 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 cannot 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 until February 29. The winner will be drawn on March 4. Ticket bundles are available, and can increase your chances of winning!

VANCOUVER, BC, February 16, 2024 — Get your tickets now for St. Paul’s Foundation’s Winter 50/50 raffle. One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot. The other half will go directly towards supporting Providence patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC.

Overall, 60% of Canadians aged 19 to 79 have a hearing problem. Hearing loss occurs frequently in older adults making it difficult to communicate, especially in a health care setting. It creates challenges for health care providers, patients, and residents to share personal care plans or needs; to understand and follow medical advice; and to make informed care choices.

Pocket talkers can reduce confusion, fear, and isolation associated with hearing loss

Pocket talkers are hand-held assistive hearing devices that allow communication to take place between health care providers and their patients and residents who are hard of hearing, thereby reducing confusion, fear, and isolation.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, access to pocket talkers are available to patients, residents, and staff throughout Providence, including long-term care homes and acute care settings.

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

Each ticket is so much more than a chance to win

Tickets are available for purchase until February 29, 2024 at 10:00 PM PST. The winning number will be drawn on March 4 at 12PM (noon) and will be posted on the Winter 50/50 raffle website.
