ANNUAL REPORT 2017/2018
Working in partnership with the community to enhance health care.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Grace Saris
ChairFraser Valley Health Care Foundation
I sincerely want to thank and acknowledge all of our donors, supporters, our Foundation Board, sta� and volunteers for their combined and determined passion. We are only as strong as our donors, and we sincerely appreciate every supporting e�ort.
I’m happy to tell you that our support of the Fraser Valley is stronger than ever. In the face of ongoing change, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation is embracing the transformation of the ways we connect and support to improve the health and vitality of patients.
Our year has been filled with great triumphs. The Pediatric Observation Unit at Chilliwack General Hospital was completed with murals and specialized equipment. Patients receiving care at Fraser Canyon Hospital can rest easy on new isogel mattresses. TRIM residents can now feel the love of a pet without the complications of a live animal; as PARO therapeutic robot has been added in Mission. Our whole region will benefit from the education and training available to our health care professionals at the Simulation Lab now open at Abbotsford Regional Hospital; the potential benefits to patients from these advances help create the future of health care.
In the coming year, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation will be concentrating on the much needed replacement of CT Scanners at Abbotsford and Chilliwack hospitals. Additionally, we will be reviewing the equipment needs for Mission and Hope. With the help from our generous community we will make these equipment needs a reality.
I speak for our foundation board when I say we are grateful for the opportunity to enhance health care in the Fraser Valley. We sincerely welcome and appreciate your support and participation in our e�orts. Please contact the foundation o�ce, to talk about your passion, what drives you to help others and how you might get involved. Together we can change lives and contribute to healthier communities.

MissionFraser Valley Health Care Foundation works with the
community to support the local hospital, facilities and programs run by Fraser Health.
Abbotsford Regional Centre for Health Education and Simulation
Opened in April 2018, the Abbotsford Regional Centre for Health Education and Simulation at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is a state-of-the-art regional education centre that provides advanced supplementary training for medical staff to help ensure that communities in the Fraser Valley continue to receive top-level medical care.
In all patient visits in Canada, errors complicate over seven percent of those visits. This is why we partnered with the Fraser Health Authority and the Abbotsford Division of Family Practice to raise $500,000 for the construction of this facility.
This extraordinary educational opportunity would not have been possible without the generous support from our donors and sponsors. If you would like to contribute to this campaign to help maintain this innovative educational resource please visit www.fvhcf.ca or call 1-877-661-0314.
“A huge portion of errors in the hospital are preventable by fostering good communication amongst health professionals. In the way we’re trained, everyone works in their own little spheres. Learning how to communicate and work as a team isn’t taught. And, that’s where the Abbotsford Regional Centre for Health Education and Simulation has bridged that gap and helped improve teamwork. This is the best teaching tool out there, and it greatly benefits the hospital staff, the patients and the community at large.” – Dr. Michael Yatscoff, Emergency Room Physician, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre
“The great thing about having a simulation doll is that we can create an urgent environment and practice what to do in various situations without putting a real patient at risk. It’s that practice that makes perfect.” – Derek Vandooren, Respiratory Therapist, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre
“Practice scenarios have allowed us to become more confident and in treating high acuity cases. This simulation lab has made a real difference in the health care in our community.” – Barbra Barwich, Registered Nurse, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre
“Our reactions have become better tuned, more accurate and safer when we’re faced with a real crisis in patient care because of this simulation lab, and it has greatly enhanced our ability to perform under the immense pressures that come with very difficult cases.” – Dr. Phil Shaw, Emergency Room Physician, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre

The Importance of the CT Scanner
The CT Scanners at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre and Chilliwack General Hospital are near the end of their useful lives. These scanners are used 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Over 44,000 patients in our region undergo scans annually, and they are critically important in providing the best available care to our communities. Doctors use them for abnormalities discovered on routine x-rays or ultrasounds, deeper investigations into symptoms like back pain or dizziness and for quickly examining patients who may have internal injuries from car accidents. CT examinations are fast and simple. In emergency cases, they often reveal internal injuries and/or bleeding quickly enough to help save a patient’s life.
A CT Scanner uses computerized tomography to combine a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or “slices”, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. This data is used to produce 2-dimensional images of a section of the body, which can also be used to construct 3-dimensional images.
This is expensive technology and it is also costly to maintain. With the support of donors like you we are aiming to complete fundraising for this project by spring 2019. If you would like to contribute to the campaign to help meet this crucial goal please visit www.fvhcf.ca or call 1-877-661-0314.
“CT scans are critically important; they’re helpful for every facet of medicine. We see patients from the Emergency Room and Trauma Unit coming in needing CT scans to determine where the internal bleeding is, for cancer treatment follow-up and for assessing blood clots in the lungs. Every facet of medicine is touched by CT scans. Imaging faster with less radiation does make a difference in the long term. Improved technology allows us to find things faster, more precisely and helps patients by treating them sooner.” – Dr. Christine Nunweiler, Department Head, Radiology, Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre
“A CT scan saved my life. I had so much water pressure on my brain from multiple tumors that I was in imminent danger of having a seizure. Thankfully, my tumors are shrinking, and knowing that my last scan was still good and that there wasn’t any growth, I can go for a few months more and not worry so much and be scared all the time because I’m being monitored. Quite simply, if I didn’t have a CT scan, I would be dead. Having the right information for the doctors quickly; you can’t put a price on that.” – Inga, Cancer Survivor, Langley, British Columbia
