Donor Support Successfully Brings More Doctors to the Peninsula When the 2018-19 fundraising campaign launched, we weren’t sure how donors would respond. For the first time we were taking our fundraising goal outside the hospital, to support the recruitment and retention of family doctors. Now, at the end of the campaign, we are incredibly proud to see the results. ACH IE VEMENTS •
Physician coverage of Acute and Long-Term Care at SPH has improved;
•
Shoreline Medical Brentwood - new clinic space renovated and opened (February 2019);
•
Shoreline Medical Sidney - renovations almost complete, greatly expanding the clinic space to accommodate new physicians and walk-in clinic (the only one in Sidney);
•
New doctors - three coming to Sidney over the next four months;
•
Pre-retirement - two doctors, planning to retire in the next three years, have joined Shoreline Sidney. Their patients will be cared for, after the doctors retire and replacements are recruited;
•
Third clinic site, near the hospital in Saanichton – the search continues.
SPHHF Board Revisits Strategic Plan screen, which was originally invented for gamers, was incorporated to make the biking experience feel more lifelike. The rider sits very close to the dome, filling their field of vision with the images, and the view changes as they navigate through the scenery.
With the assistance of a former summer student, Charlie White, the Board revisited important elements of its strategic plan. The Foundation ensured its continued focus on community needs and accountability to donors, while also supporting a talented young woman from the peninsula in pursuit of a graduate degree.
Pedaling can be as easy or hard as each resident needs. People with more severe physical limitations can simply sit in the seat or even on a chair and look at the screen. How amazing for residents who can no longer get out into the world to have a chance to explore it again through this simple tool.
To provide up-to-date facilities, innovative programs and proactive solutions to support the health, wellness and sustainability of the Saanich Peninsula and Southern Gulf Island communities.
