The QEH Foundation has launched its annual Friends for Life campaign with Campaign Chair Doug Newson.
This year, the funds raised will go towards purchasing priority medical equipment for the operating rooms, pharmacy, provincial laboratory, children’s health, stroke care, ICU and cancer care.
The 2017-18 campaign builds on a successful 2016-17 campaign that supported the purchase of a Nuclear SPECT/CT Camera and digital radiography unit at a combined cost of $1.5-million.
Newson says that with the QEH being the Island’s main referral hospital, gifts to the campaign will impact the lives of over 1,000 people who receive care at the QEH each day.
