Supporting our culture of high quality care

The VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation announced a generous donation from Robert and Greta Ho last fall to create the Robert H. N. Ho Enhancing Patient Care program. The program’s vision is to support education and professional development for nurses and allied health professionals with a view of improving patient outcomes and fostering a culture of quality, learning and commitment across VCH.

Robert and Greta Ho highly regard and respect the work nurses and allied health professionals do at VCH, and recognize they are vital to successful health outcomes. Their gift of 2.5 million dollars over five years is a meaningful investment in lifelong learning for nurses and allied health professionals.
