The Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation was founded to support Island Health. Healthcare is a top concern and priority for Canadians, especially those in the mid, central, and north Vancouver Island communities. Founded in 1977, the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation raises money for Island Health initiatives and facilitates important conversations that support innovative healthcare for our communities. With a dynamic Board and highly engaged team, the Foundation supports Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, Oceanside Health Centre, Dufferin Place, Trillium, and Eagle Park, while operating two businesses, Lifeline Nanaimo and Code Brew Café, whose revenues support our fundraising costs.
