Annual Giving Message from the President, Greg Mussenden

I wish to thank every donor for the gift you have given in support of the hospital, other care facilities and programs in the North Okanagan.

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation proudly works with residents of the North Okanagan to ensure that our health care professionals have the equipment they need to do their jobs. Often times we feel that government should fund these equipment needs, but we all know that there will never be enough government dollars to meet all of the health care needs in British Columbia.

Over the years, the VJH Foundation has raised millions of dollars to purchase state of the art medical equipment for our local health care network. When our loved ones or ourselves face health issues, we quickly recognize the importance of having a strong health care network in our community. By annual and monthly giving, special events, planned gifts such as endowments and bequests you can make a difference for all of us. Together we help the men and women who work hard to give you the care you need, when you need it.

Please give generously – it will make a difference in your life.
