Baby Sophia Steals Viewers’ Hearts at Hospital Lighting Ceremony! Sophia Boxall-Reimer, the first baby born this year at Sechelt Hospital, won over viewers’ hearts as her mom Katrina Reimer helped her flip the switch and turn on the lights for the giant Holiday Hearts display during an online ceremony on December 1st. We had a great experience at Sechelt Hospital’s maternity department and we’re so grateful to the nurses and doctors who helped deliver Sophia safely into thi...s world, said Ms. Reimer. Over 151 babies have been born this year so far at the hospital. It’s an honour to help light up the sky and the hearts at Sechelt Hospital, she added. From our family to yours, and to all the health care members of the Sunshine Coast and Sechelt Hospital, we wish everyone healthy and safe holidays this year. See more

In lieu of hosting any events this year we hope you will be able to join us online on December 1st at 4pm for a virtual Holiday Hearts lighting ceremony. www.sechelthospitalfoundation.org

In March this year, Sechelt Hospital Foundation established a Covid-19 Emergency Support Fund with donor funds to support our health care teams on the Sunshine Coast as they prepared for and responded to the health emergency. Our $100,000 Covid-19 Emergency Support Fund was immediately, and generously, matched by the Sunshine Coast Healthcare Auxiliary and more than 100 community members contributed both gifts in kind and an additional $37,000. As of November 10th, all $237...,000 of the Covid-19 Emergency Support Fund has been either spent or committed to secure a wide variety of critical items required to provide care and protection for staff and patients during these incredibly challenging times. With news of Covid-19’s second wave impacting our community, on November 16th, the Board of Sechelt Hospital Foundation unanimously approved an additional $50,000 to supplement the Covid-19 Emergency Support Fund.
