One more week left to shop and support women’s heart health!

L to R: Jennifer Kim, Owner/Pharmacist, Shoppers Drug Mart, VGH, Ken Beaulieu, Store Manager, Shoppers Drug Mart, VGH, Dr. Tara Sedlak, Director, Leslie Diamond Women’s Heart Health Clinic; and patient Ann Ramsay with blood pressure machine that Shoppers Drug Mart is fundraising for.

Thanks to staff and customer donations, the Tree of Life at Shoppers Drug Mart is growing! More is still needed to help purchase a new blood pressure machine for the Leslie Diamond Women’s Heart Clinic at VGH.

This year, staff at Shoppers Drug Mart stores (located at VGH and on Seymour Street in Yaletown) chose to support women’s heart health through the company’s annual of Tree of Life campaign. All proceeds from the campaign will go towards the purchase of a  $4,350 blood pressure machine for the Women’s Heart Health Clinic at VGH.

From now until October 11, show your support at participating Shoppers Drug Mart stores and purchase a “Tree of Life” icon: a “leaf” for $1, a “butterfly” for $5, an “acorn” for $10 or a “cardinal” for $50. Your icon will be displayed on the Tree of Life in store windows.

VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation thanks Shoppers Drug Mart, its dedicated employees and loyal customers in a combined fundraising effort to support women’s heart health.
