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 affords dignity to patients with complex medical and social needs.

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.

The Clothing Depot ensures patients are discharged in new, clean, and weather-appropriate clothing to better support their health and to promote a focus on holistic care. Feelings of personal value, dignity, and self-worth are all important aspects to a patient’s health and well-being. 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, with more than 40 departments benefitting from this service so far this year.

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 August 30, 2024. The winner will be drawn on September 4, 2024. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

• 3 for $10
• 20 for $25

At any age, gardening is one of the best activities we can do outdoors. It stimulates all of the senses while connecting us with nature and rewarding us with beautiful flowers or delicious fruits and vegetables. Gardening is also an excellent way for aging bodies to get a moderate aerobic workout, shed calories, and stay flexible.

Gardening programs brings a sense of pride and joy to residents.

Residents and staff at Holy Family Hospital’s Extended Care have created a wonderful and supportive gardening community, growing many flowers and vegetables throughout the spring and summer season. Last year, they hosted an end of season Farmer’s Market to share their garden harvest with fellow residents, family members, and staff. These proud residents are looking forward to sharing “the fruits of their labour” again this season.

Your ticket purchase will help provide the supplies required to continue this wonderful gardening initiative at Holy Family Extended Care, and support many other gardening initiatives across Providence’s network of hospitals and residences.

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. Buy your tickets today.

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.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 31, 2024 — This is your last chance to get your St. Paul’s Foundation Spring 50/50 raffle tickets. The jackpot is now over $92,000 – and half could be yours! Draw closes tonight at 10:00 PM PST.

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

BiliBlanket Phototherapy Lights are designed to support the treatment of 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 raffle 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!

Cooking program affords a sense of pride, motivation and confidence

The Therapeutic Cooking Program at Mount St. Joseph Hospital has brought many benefits to seniors living with dementia.

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.
