The new Cowichan District Hospital, located in the heart of the Cowichan Valley, will play a key role in advancing healthcare for our community. This state-of-the-art medical facility will feature cutting-edge technology and advanced equipment, empowering healthcare professionals to provide exceptional care to their patients.

Since the opening of the current hospital in 1967, our community has grown, and medical advancements have changed the way care is provided. The new hospital will improve patient outcomes, enhance safety, and support staff retention, while meeting the needs of a growing population.

The construction of the hospital will also provide a boost to the local economy, creating jobs and strengthening the region’s infrastructure.

To support this project, the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation has launched a $20 million fundraising campaign to equip the new hospital with exceptional medical equipment. Every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5 million, doubling the impact of every gift.

Contributions can also support naming opportunities within the hospital, allowing donors to leave a lasting legacy in their name or in memory of a loved one.

This is a unique opportunity to help ensure our community has access to modern healthcare facilities for years to come. Join us in building a healthier future for the Cowichan Valley.

“The Foundation’s support for what we provide to the hospital is very important to us and the patients we serve. The more equipment we can have locally, the less people have to travel for certain specialty services.”
