St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 Raffle News Stream

VANCOUVER, BC, November 29, 2024 — This is your last chance to get your St. Paul’s Foundation Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle tickets. Draw closes tonight at 10:00 PM PST.

The jackpot is now over $240,000 – and half could be yours!

St. Paul’s Hospital is a provincial referral centre for some of the province’s most complex cases. Many patients have chronic health issues and require a specialized care team of medical professionals to address their needs.

The Clothing Depot provides patients with complex medical and social needs the dignity they deserve.

When patients visit St. Paul’s Hospital, sometimes the only clothes they own – which may be greatly worn, soiled or threadbare – are removed and disposed of. Other patients are here for a short stay and don’t have friends or family who are able to bring clothes to the hospital quickly.

The Clothing Depot ensures patients are discharged in new, clean, and weather-appropriate clothing to better support their health and to promote feelings of personal value, dignity, and self-worth. Sometimes, this simple act of care is one of the most appreciated.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, Providence Health Care’s Clothing Depot continues to provide essential clothing to patients in need, preserving their dignity. All departments across St. Paul’s Hospital have access to this program. So far this year, the Clothing Depot has been accessed over 1,100 times and provided 5,710 items of clothing to patients.

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

Help provide comfort and dignity. Buy your tickets today.

Tickets are available for purchase until 10:00PM TONIGHT. The winner will be drawn on December 3, 2024. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

• 1 for $10
• 20 for $25
• 120 for $50
• 300 for $75 (the greatest value and your best chance to win)

You could be the lucky winner! Get your tickets now on the Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle website.

VANCOUVER, BC, November 22, 2024 — Do you have your Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle tickets yet? One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly toward supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC.

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

Blankets are cherished essentials for newborns, providing warmth, comfort, and security. At St. Paul’s Hospital, a special kind of blanket – the bili blanket – is helping babies recover from jaundice quicker.

The bili blanket is a portable, fibre-optic blanket providing UV phototherapy for infants with severe jaundice, breaking down and removing the bilirubin in their blood. It helps 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 contact. It promotes a nurturing environment that encourages and supports healthy and healing interactions.

“The bili blanket is one of our most-used pieces of equipment,” says nurse Clara Vuong, who’s worked in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 18 years. “There is a huge benefit to using them for these babies.” Thanks to your support, the collection of bili blankets at St. Paul’s Hospital has now grown to six.

Bili blankets played a vital role in alleviating Julia Wulffhart’s anxiety as a new parent. When her daughter was born with a case of jaundice that took longer to heal, they were hospitalized for an entire week and Julia was able to use the blanket throughout their stay.

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

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.

Patients travel safely home and give back to their local communities with the Pay It Forward Walker Program.

The Heart Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital treats the most complex cardiac patients from around BC and the Yukon. Many patients arrive via air ambulance, and are unable to bring their walking/mobility aids due to flight space restrictions.

If patients don’t have family members that can come to Vancouver and bring their mobility aid, the usual solution is for patients to rent a device from the Red Cross. But if they are ready for discharge after the Red Cross closes on a Friday, then the patient is essentially ‘stranded’ in Vancouver over the weekend – and occupying an acute care bed.

Enter the ‘Pay it Forward’ walker program.

The Heart Centre gives patients a walker upon discharge, and the patient then ‘pays it forward’ by donating that walker to the Red Cross when they return to their home community.

Your raffle purchase will help patients travel safely home, regain a sense of independence, and contribute back to their local community.

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