ABOUT
The West Coast General Hospital Foundation was incorporated in 1990 as a not-for-profit charitable society whose mission is to raise funds in support of the Port Alberni's West Coast General Hospital and Westhaven long term care home. We proudly support care provision at the Hospital and are well known for assisting with the purchase of major equipment. More recently we have expanded our supports to include partnering on projects, and supporting staff education and practice improvement initiatives. Our goal is to improve the quality of care at our local hospital.
OUR MISSION
The West Coast General Hospital Foundation will raise funds to support the purchase of new equipment and to support other capital projects improving the treatment and care of patients at the West Coast General Hospital.
