Proudly celebrating our community service on the Sunshine Coast
VISION
We are a caring community where everyone has an opportunity to contribute to the quality of our healthcare.
MISSION
To provide volunteer services that enhance the quality of healthcare and comfort, and to raise funds and encourage community support of the hospital and related healthcare programs.
We are committed to providing volunteer services and raising funds to enhance the quality of healthcare on the Sunshine Coast.
We raise money for healthcare on the coast, but we do so much more:
Operate the loan cupboard at Sechelt Hospital.
Operate the gift store at Sechelt Hospital.
Operate the Sunshine Coast Healthcare Auxiliary Thrift Store.
Provide care and comfort services to the residents of Sechelt Hospital 2nd Floor-South extended care facilities.
Knit caps for every new born baby at Sechelt Hospital.
Fund training for extended care staff and volunteers.
Make “worry dolls” for children in the hospital.
Sponsor a program for junior volunteers where they have the opportunity to work alongside health care professionals. Helps youth to evaluate what it would be like to have a health care career, and a great many follow through with this ambition.Volunteer hours are often required on applications for post secondary education.
Provide bursaries every year for Grade 12 graduates who are entering a post-secondary health care program.
We acknowledge that we operate on the traditional, unceded, and ancestral territory of the shíshálh Nation. We are grateful for their stewardship of the land on which the SCHA is honoured to serve.
