Right now, this is your chance to make a difference in the lives of Royal Inland Hospital’s smallest patients – We are looking to fund four (4) Symphony Breast Pumps and trolley’s to benefit the Rita C. Mercier Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Indigenous Patient Navigator (IPN) Program at RIH!

These pumps will enhance the existing eight-year IPN lending program, which provides breast pumps to mothers staying in hotels while their babies are in the NICU, enabling them to pump without needing to return to the hospital every 3–4 hours. Currently, the program operates with just two pumps, which are nearing the end of their lifespan. The new pumps will ensure continuity of this vital service. With two pumps allocated to the IPN Program and two reserved for the Rita C. Mercier NICU, this will enhance availability and support for mothers and their babies.

Today, your thoughtful gift is generously being matched by Jim Pattison up to $200,000 – DOUBLING your impact. Thank you for your support!
