BC Children’s Hospital Foundation

BC Children’s is the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to the care of children. That means one million kids—including some of the sickest and most seriously injured—count on the hospital for specialized care they often can’t receive anywhere else. Every year, more than 93,000 patients visited the hospital—which not only includes its acute care centre, but also its research institute, mental health facility and rehabilitation centre.

Since 1982, the Foundation has been working to inspire people and communities to join their quest and raise the bar of children’s health care. In the 2019/20 fiscal year, more than 101,000 generous donors came together to support our cause which enabled over $55 million to be contributed to the hospital and research institute.  The generosity of donors helps change the lives of families today—from enabling new programs that deliver compassionate care tailored to the needs of children, to purchasing the latest innovations in equipment. Donor support is changing the lives of families tomorrow—helping shape what child health can become—by fueling research aimed at conquering and ultimately preventing childhood diseases.
