Thank you to our guests and VCH staff, including physicians and leaders, for joining us at the 2017 Viva Pharmaceutical Time to Shine Gala held on February 5 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

With the support and generosity of 370 plus guests, we raised more than $2.88 million for our Future of Surgery campaign to enhance surgical care for British Columbians.

Philanthropy plays a vital role in our health care system and is an important investment in the future of patient care at our hospitals. Together with our major sponsors, matching fund donors, community partners, donors, staff and volunteers, we’re advancing our goal to improve surgical care for patients by transforming the VGH OR suite and UBC Hospital.

A special thank you to Dr. Janice Kwon, Gynecologic Surgical Oncologist, VGH, and Dr. Brian Kwon, Spine Surgeon, VGH, for entertaining our guests that evening with exceptional piano performances.
