Maximizing Impact Through Matching Donations
Peace Arch Hospital’s medical imaging department is in critical need of modernization. Outdated equipment leads to subpar images, delays in care, and discomfort for patients.
• We are in the final stages of a $10 million campaign for new imaging equipment. From May 4-August 25, we seek to raise the final $1 million to fund this new equipment.
• Generous matching donors, the Surrey and White Rock Firefighters Charitable Societies, will match all gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000.
• Every donation, no matter the size, will have double the impact in advancing our medical imaging capabilities. This matching opportunity amplifies the power of community support in achieving our fundraising goal.
Join us in Making a Difference

Resilience Is Critical For A Happy Life
Charles Darwin once said: “It’s not the strongest or the most intelligent that survive, but those who are most adaptable to change”. Control is an illusion that we all wrestle with in our own way. The “good” and the “not so good” comes and goes in everyone’s life, with the only real constant being change. One of the biggest source of unhappiness lies in not being able to adapt to the change that comes into our lives. When we dwell and cling to the dissappointment of unmet expectations of what was supposed to happen but didn’t see coming, it makes it more difficult to adapt, shift and change course. Being able to shift gears, grieve and welcome new direction and possibility opens flow. What we choose to focus on affects our happiness and how empowered we feel in the world.
Heel Pain Management
Effective pain management for cracked heels, or heel fissures, is crucial for alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. Cracked heels often stem from dry skin, moisture deficiency, or underlying medical conditions. To address the pain linked to this condition, various strategies can be employed. Moisturization is paramount, keeping the skin hydrated to prevent further cracking. Gentle exfoliation aids in removing dead skin cells but should be done cautiously to avoid exacerbating the issue. Soaking feet in warm water softens the skin, offering relief. Well-fitting footwear with adequate cushioning helps manage pain and prevents worsening. Seeking timely treatment can prevent infections and further complications, ensuring swift recovery.

What is Pharmaceutical Compounding?
Compounding pharmacies provide personalized medication solutions tailored to individual patient needs. Unlike traditional pharmacies, which dispense mass-produced medications, compounding pharmacies specialize in customizing prescriptions. They combine pharmaceutical ingredients to create formulations in unique dosages, forms, and flavors, accommodating patients with allergies, sensitivities, or specific medical requirements. Compounding pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to develop medications not commercially available or to alter existing formulations. This personalized approach enhances treatment efficacy, promotes patient adherence, and addresses therapeutic gaps. Overall, they offer a vital service in healthcare, ensuring tailored and effective treatments for diverse patient populations.
