Greetings A Message from the CEO and Board Chair Over the past year, we have seen many examples of growth, positive change and exceptional health care delivery at RIH. You, our donors and volunteers, continued to inspire us through your generosity and willingness to give so much of yourselves to help strengthen our one and only hospital in Kamloops. Because of you, we well exceeded our fundraising goals, and were able to make many significant improvements to health care in our region, investing $2.4 million into the RIH community—a $1 million increase from last year. As our Operating Room campaign slogan states, “Our Hospital. Our Foundation.” It really is incredible to see the impact we have on health care when we all come together. Community engagement has never been this strong. Some highlights of the year included: renovations and new equipment in the Emergency Department’s Trauma Room; new crucial diagnostic equipment for the Pathology Lab; the inaugural Dancing Like the Stars event in support of our Breast Health Initiative; a new Radiothon fundraiser; and the launch of the Give and Grow Professional Development Scholarship program.

A concern we wanted to address last year was how we can keep hospital beds available for patients who most need them. We decided to invest in community health projects that reach beyond the four walls of the hospital. By supporting community health programs, we are helping patients remain in the comforts of their own homes, making a positive impact on health care delivery at RIH. As we wrap up the campaign for the new Operating Room, we want to express our gratitude to our supporters who helped us equip the new room with state-of-the-art equipment. The added space will increase surgical capacity at RIH and help decrease surgical wait times. Read more about the campaign on pages 3 and 4. As we plan for next year, we look forward to continuing to work with you to update our hospital, ensuring we are offering patients in our region the best care possible and making RIH a great place for medical professionals to work. Thank you to all of our treasured donors and supporters—YOU make health care excellence possible at RIH.
A Message from Hospital Administrator, Carol Laberge At Royal Inland Hospital, our goal is to improve the health and wellness of the patients we serve. We know that partnerships with communities help us achieve this goal, and the RIH Foundation is one of those important community partnerships. On behalf of our employees, physicians and, most importantly, our patients, I wish to sincerely thank Heidi Coleman and her team for the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to patient care at RIH. The work they do allows us to provide high quality health care services to patients across the Kamloops region. Be it a new pediatric bed, or new Laboratory equipment, or an entire renovation to our Emergency Department’s Trauma Room—I know we can count on the Foundation to step up in ways both big and small. Congratulations on another successful year! I have also been continually impressed by the generosity of the community in Kamloops and the surrounding areas. My thanks to all the residents and corporations in our community who support the RIH Foundation—you really do make a difference!

Our philosophy is based on two parts: The Structure/Function correlation and the Slide & Glide properties of a healthy system. If the structure is misaligned, then dysfunction will occur. Conversely, if there is dysfunction then misalignment will occur. Regardless of which came first, both must be addressed. As well, the body requires clean and smooth, slide & glide in order to function properly. We prefer to work through tissue layers individually, treating dysfunction as it presents at each level, and firmly believe that persuasion is always better than force.

Operating Room Campaign New OR in Operation Two years ago our hospital celebrated its 100th anniversary. RIH’s history is remarkable – but with that long history, the need arises to regularly update it. The Surgical Department is no exception, and in 2013 we began our Operating Room (OR) Campaign to add an additional Operating Theatre. We have been overwhelmed with the support we’ve received from the community in raising funds to purchase all of the equipment needed to outfit a 10th Operating Room. With patients often
facing long wait times, our community recognizes the critical need for more surgeries to be performed at RIH each year. Thank you to everyone who has supported our OR Campaign thus far, whether it is through donating funds or volunteering your time. Our OR Campaign slogan is: Our Hospital. Our Foundation. It truly does take the support of all of us to come together to make change, and keep our one and only hospital going strong.

Pediatrics Improving Pediatric Mental Health Care at RIH The RIH Pediatric department offers acute care services to children ranging from infants to 17 years of age. Along with admitted patients, there are nearly 2,500 pediatric outpatient visits to RIH every year. In 2014, a dedicated Psychiatric Pediatric Unit was created to offer safe and comforting care for young patients struggling with mental health issues. Funding was provided
by Interior Health as well as a grant from the RBC Foundation. The new unit has a separate nursing station, a dedicated bathroom, two lounge areas as well as an outdoor patio. The outdoor space provides patients and caregivers with an opportunity to exercise and be in the sun, both important aspects of care for these young patients.
Thank you to the following supporters of Pediatric Care at RIH:
The Westsyde Graduating Class of 2015 donated $5,000 in support of a new pediatric bed at RIH.
Over $76,000 was raised at McHappy Day on May 6, 2015! Funded: Mechanical Ventilator in NICU and Vocera Communication System for Pediatric Unit (improves patient and staff safety).
Warner Rentals Golf Tournament raised funds for new pediatric beds.
Toys for Kids raised $18,000 for pediatric renovations.

Foundation Firsts Dancing Like the Stars – In support of breast health at RIH Working with doctors from the Radiology Department at Royal Inland Hospital, the Foundation decided to create an event in support of women’s breast health. Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer in women - 1 in 9 women are expected to develop breast cancer and 1 in 28 women will die from it. Thus, Dancing Like the Stars Kamloops was born. Dancing Like the Stars brought a fun and creative event to our community in support of breast health initiatives in Kamloops. “Celebrity” community members, dance studios, media representatives and others were excited to be involved in this fundraising venture. The glamourous event raised $95,000 to assist in funding breast health initiatives in Kamloops. Women in Kamloops and surrounding communities are experiencing a delay between detecting an abnormality in their breast and receiving further testing. In 2013 alone, over 8,300 women received a screening mammogram in Kamloops and more than 800 were referred to RIH for further testing. Interior Health and the medical staff at RIH would like to address this delay with a new Rapid Access Breast Health Clinic, which would dramatically reduce the wait times for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment for patients by streamlining the current process involved in diagnosing breast cancer.

A breast health clinic (modeled after other centers in BC) would offer patients rapid access to coordinated breast cancer diagnostic testing with multiple appointments on one day and at one location. Ultimately, this patient focused approach would be a one-stop clinic that spans the full spectrum of care in our community.
Radiothon Last March, the RIH Foundation held its first ever Radiothon. While we were confident the community would be supportive, we had no idea as to what extent! Radio NL broadcast the Radiothon live for 12 hours—we had donors, patients, and medical professionals bring listeners to tears as they shared stories about their experiences at RIH. It was an exciting day, as volunteers answered the phones, and numerous groups, businesses, and individuals stopped by to drop off generous donations and see the action in person. The Radiothon brought in an incredible $96,000. Thank you to all of the volunteers, donors, and sponsors who made the day such a success. A special thank you to Radio NL and our Presenting Sponsor, NRI Distribution, for their wonderful support. We are excited to see what our second year will bring!

Pediatrics Wallace Family Finds Compassion and Kindness in the RIH NICU Last October, Jennifer Wallace was just 26 weeks pregnant when her husband, Jason, brought her to the Emergency Department at RIH. She hadn’t been feeling well and thought she had the flu. Doctors were worried about her condition, and she was quickly sent to BC Women’s Hospital, where their son Daniel was born at just 26 weeks and 6 days gestation. Jennifer had severe preeclampsia, and the medical team at BC Women’s Hospital delivered Daniel via emergency c-section. He was merely 1040 grams at birth and needed to spend time in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to continue developing and growing. Being in Vancouver was hard for the Wallace family. Jason had to work in Kamloops and was only able to visit Jennifer and Daniel on the weekends. Fortunately, Christmas came early for Jennifer and Jason when they found out Daniel could be safely transferred to the NICU at RIH the week before Christmas.
ment when he arrived at the RIH, but with the help of a great team of medical professionals including specially-trained respiratory therapists, he gradually learned to breathe on his own without any additional oxygen. He was also gaining weight and reaching lots of important milestones, like learning to drink from a bottle and breast feeding. Because of the wonderful staff in the NICU, Daniel was able to reach these milestones quicker than had been anticipated. “The NICU staff at RIH approached us with nothing but kindness, care, and compassion,” Jennifer explained. “They always offered the right kind of support at the right time–even if it was just a shoulder to cry on or a sympathetic ear.” In late January, Daniel had to go back to Vancouver for a small operation, and afterwards he was able to leave the hospital for the first time. Jennifer and Jason were thrilled to finally bring their healthy baby boy home and will always be grateful for the help and support of all the staff at Royal Inland Hospital and BC Women’s Hospital.
Daniel was still using specialized breathing equip-

SCT&I Golf Tournament
Since 2007, Al Patel, the Founder of the Iccha/Wish Fund, and his Board of Directors have worked together with the Kamloops Accommodation Association and the community of Kamloops to raise funds for RIH. This coming year, they have pledged $60,000 to the Neurodiagnostics Department at RIH. New equipment is needed for quickly diagnosing neurological conditions, such as ALS, Muscular Dystrophy, and Polio. We are thankful to ICCHA/ Wish for their tremendous support.
In the last 2 years the tournament has raised $185,000 for the OR Campaign – and over $1.6 Million to RIH in its 18 years! This event is so successful because of the incredibly dedicated volunteer committee and the many long-term sponsors. The golf tournament is one-of-a-kind —participants look forward to it each year and are eager to support this great cause. We are grateful to all of them for their continued support.

Legacy Circle Retired RIH Chief Pathologist Provides Generous Legacy Gift Glenn and Mary Martin met in Kingston in 1947 where they were both pursuing careers in health care. Glenn was finishing his residency in General Pathology while Mary worked as an Occupational Therapist after completing her training at the University of Toronto. They were married in 1949 and settled in Kamloops in 1957. Mary stayed at home to raise their six children while Dr. Martin worked at RIH and retired as Chief Pathologist after 33 years of service. With their backgrounds in health care and Dr. Martin’s long career at RIH, it seemed fitting that the Martins would choose to support the RIH Foundation with a legacy gift. They donated a life insurance policy in Dr. Martin’s name to the Foundation, knowing this would provide the hospital with a significant donation down the road. Mary is pleased that their decision many years ago to support the Foundation has resulted in a very meaningful gift and will help honour her late husband’s memory. Mary and Glenn made the gift undesignated so that it could support the hospital’s most critical needs when the donation was received. New life-saving and state-of-the-art equipment will soon be available at RIH because of the Martin’s legacy gift, which will ultimately enhance health care for the entire community of Kamloops. The Foundation is grateful to the Martin family for this tremendous gift that will have a positive impact on patient care at RIH for many years to come.
Mary Martin and Dr. Glenn Martin (December 24, 1925 – April 8, 2015)
There are many types of donations, including gifts of property, bequests and gifts of securities, which can have a significant impact on patient care at RIH while also providing a tax benefit to the donor. Please call our office (250.314.2325) if you would like more information about creating a legacy at our hospital.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT RIHF is committed to inspiring donors and building meaningful relationships to support RIH and our community’s health care needs, both now and into the future.

Legacy Circle Real Estate Has Real Impact Last fall, Robbie and Calla Dunn approached the RIH Foundation with an idea. The Dunns wanted to gift a piece of land to the Foundation which they were not using. The Foundation gladly accepted their tremendous offer and once ownership was transferred, the property was sold in order to help fund new patient care equipment and projects at RIH. Robbie and Calla were thrilled to have the opportunity to make such a unique donation to a charity they care about: “When we learned that gifts of property were acceptable and we weren't following through on plans for our property, we felt donating it would allow the Foundation to further advance their mission. The process to accomplish it was made very simple by the staff.” This donation of real estate has led to the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment and professional development opportunities for RIH staff that would simply would not have been possible otherwise. Their investment in the hospital has contributed to lifesaving equipment in the Emergency Department and our most recent campaign to equip a new Operating Room and increase surgical capacity at RIH.
Robbie and Calla have been supporters of RIHF for more than 25 years, making a cash donation each year because they believe that people living in our region deserve the best possible health care facilities and equipment. Robbie explains, “It is impossible for the government to meet all of our needs. Therefore, those who are capable of contributing, no matter the amount, should consider supporting RIH. Our hospital is a great community resource and we need to support the talented doctors, nurses and other staff so they are able to properly care for each one of us.”
In Memorium Memorial gifts show a loving concern for all who look to RIH for care—now and in the future. These gifts fund patient care equipment and other special programs that promote healthcare excellence in our region. Memorial gifts received from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015:
