We aim to provide life-saving care to patients with complex kidney disease, but many face significant challenges such as long travel distances, language and cultural barriers, as well as fatigue, comprehension, and mobility issues. To address these challenges, we will offer patient porter services to assist patients with check-in and appointments, particularly for those who arrive without a caregiver. With your help, we can expand our holistic care services.
We are also seeking support to create an Indigenous Healing Centre as part of our Hospital’s enhancement of the front entryway. This Centre will offer a space for patients to find a moment of respite before, after, or in-between treatments and appointments. It will promote physical, mental, and spiritual health through traditional healing practices and ceremonies. Additionally, the Centre will house administrative offices that provide culturally-appropriate services and care, creating a welcoming and safe starting point for all hospital visitors.
