What if more of the specialized care you needed was already here…advanced, ready, and close to home?
No travelling to other tertiary care hospitals. Just the right care, in the right place, when it matters most.
The RIH Foundation is having genuine conversations, listening to people and healthcare providers across the Interior, gathering their voices, their hopes, and their concerns to guide meaningful change. We are working toward a stronger, healthier future and with your support, it is within reach.
To bring us closer to this vision, here are some of our current fundraising priorities:
- Supportive care for cancer patients that is efficient, provided at no cost, and centered on the personal experiences of patients and their loved ones. With this in mind, we are bringing InspireHealth to Kamloops, previously only available virtually.
- A dedicated space with new surgical equipment for women’s health designed to address the specialized needs of women through every stage of life.
- A hybrid operating room that will revolutionize surgical precision, making complex surgeries safer and faster at RIH. We’ve pledged to raise $3 million to bring this hybrid OR to Kamloops, currently only available in Kelowna.
- An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) suite for diagnosing and treating conditions of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.
- Improvements to our existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), valued at $1.9 million, to enhance diagnostic accuracy with higher resolution imaging and the latest software for greater efficiency.
- Authentic, people-first recruitment, in partnership with Interior Health and the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice, designed to show interested healthcare professionals the true beauty of Kamloops and the outstanding collegiality that exists at RIH.
- New specialized services that uphold our status as a tertiary hospital and deliver equitable care across the region.
These are necessities, and you can help bring them to life.
This isn’t just about meeting today’s standard of care. It’s about helping define tomorrow’s.
Yes, the vision is big but we’re not afraid of big. Because when we act together, nothing is beyond reach.
Your donation accelerates these possibilities. This is a turning point, and you can be part of it.
