For nearly 50 years, the Foundation has helped fund critical medical equipment, patient care enhancements, innovative programs, and major healthcare projects supporting Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and other healthcare facilities throughout the region.

Funds raised through the NDHF Summer Lottery will support the purchase of medical equipment, improving healthcare for patients and families throughout Nanaimo, Oceanside, Ladysmith, and surrounding communities.
