Happy Beginnings Start Here

Wonderful things happen every day at BC Children's Hospital, but there’s nothing better than sending one of our kids home. When a patient leaves the Hospital ready to be a kid again in every sense of the word, we call that a happy beginning. Because that’s what BC Children's Hospital gives kids: a fresh, healthy start to a life full of possibility. We celebrate thousands of happy beginnings every year. Here are a few recent stories to make you smile.

How Giving Helps

Every dollar donated to BC Children’s Hospital makes a difference in a young person’s life. As the only pediatric acute care hospital in the province, BC Children’s Hospital serves the unique medical needs of BC’s one million children. This is no small task.

To ensure our kids receive the absolute best care, BC Children’s Hospital must maintain a staff of exceptional caregivers, purchase leading-edge equipment, perform intensive research, invest in ongoing education and run innovative patient programs. With government funding covering only a portion of the costs, a shortfall in any one of these areas can significantly limit our ability to treat sick and injured children. Our need for donations is urgent and ongoing.

The smaller the patient, the larger the need – and the more important every donation becomes.

Over 72,000 sick children walk through our doors each year. Without the generosity of our donors, many would not receive the medical care they need and deserve. When you give to BC Children’s Hospital, you help sick and injured kids to get better and reach their full potential.
