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.
- 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.
