A new look for the next evolution Royal Columbian Hospital’s story is one of many transformations since it first opened in 1862 with capacity for 30 patients. To help meet the needs of a growing region, the hospital has expanded numerous times. Today, significant hospital redevelopment plans are taking shape, and Royal Columbian is on the cusp of its next major evolution. For Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, the time is right to take our next step forward too. With this edition of Your Health Matters, we are pleased to introduce a new look for the Foundation. From the colours we use, to the imagery we share and the logo that announces who we are, we wish to honour Royal Columbian Hospital’s role as a major critical care centre with a highly skilled team that is determined to save the lives of some of the province’s most seriously ill and injured patients. If you or a loved one has come through the doors of the hospital, you already know why a third of British Columbians rely on Royal Columbian for critical care. We are the only hospital in the province with trauma, cardiac, neurosciences, high-risk maternity and neonatal intensive care all on one site, with the expertise to deliver that care at its highest level. As a charitable organization that was created to support the needs of the hospital, we take our responsibility seriously. Time and time again, we see the difference our donors make in helping give patients their greatest chance at life. We are proud to unveil a new look for the Foundation, and we hope you will join us as hospital redevelopment takes shape.
