It’s time to be first.
It’s time to re-invent local cancer care.
It’s time to foster surgical innovation.
It’s time we keep advanced care local.
Your ticket purchase will help shape the future of surgical care for Vancouver Islanders, including bringing surgical robotics to our region, through the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s $17 million dollar campaign - It’s Time.
The field of medicine is constantly evolving, and our hospitals must evolve with it. Reimagining how surgeries can be improved for safety, time, and patient benefit is just one of the many advancements our Foundation is proud to support in our pursuit of life-enhancing care for patients on Vancouver Island.
Introducing robotics into our operating rooms will usher in a transformative wave of innovation to surgical and cancer care on Vancouver Island. Bringing the gold standard of leading-edge robotics will dramatically enhance the proficiencies of our highly skilled surgeons, providing unparalleled accuracy, dexterity, and control during complex procedures.
Robotics will allow for:
- Enhanced precision for surgeons
- Improved visualization for surgeons
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Enhanced recovery for patients
- Reduced risk of complications for patients
- Reduced need of nursing staff post-surgery
- Better ergonomics for surgeons
- Recruitment and retention of the best surgeons
In tandem with robotics, we are bringing advanced minimally invasive equipment to our operating rooms to support ophthalmology, general surgery, gynecology, and other surgical divisions. This will continue, and accelerate, a revolution in surgical care.
Your support of the first phase of our It’s Time campaign will power groundbreaking surgical care for the Island. Together, we will rewrite the future of healthcare by bringing surgical robotics and new, best-in class equipment into our operating rooms across various surgical specialties.
“For over a decade, the vision of advancing surgical innovation and excellence has been a goal for so many. Together, with you, our local surgeons, healthcare leaders, and hopeful patients, we will catalyze the boldest healthcare advancements we’ve pursued to date in our Victoria hospitals.”
Avery Brohman, CEO, Victoria Hospitals Foundation
