This is so important and so needed for our seniors. Please give today!

Every year, more than 23,000 seniors over 65 come through the doors of the NRGH Emergency Department. They are the patients who often spend the most time in the ER, and overcrowding can make their care experience even more challenging.

Creating BC’s first Senior Friendly Emergency Unit means providing seniors with a dedicated space that is quieter, safer, and equipped with the specialized supports they need. This renovation will also help reduce overall ER strain - a meaningful step forward for patients, families, and care teams.

Together, we can build an ER that truly meets the needs of our aging population.
