Receiving the phone call that I was the winner of the 50/50 staff lottery was a fabulous Christmas surprise – I got the phone call just a few days after Christmas! I’m planning on using it towards a family holiday. Thank you!

I was really surprised when I won a second time. It was a really nice way to end 2017. I continued with the lottery because I wanted to contribute in some way back to VCH. I feel very lucky that I work with some pretty amazing Physiotherapists. So the first thing I am doing with the money is take them out for a nice dinner with the winnings. When I went to pick up my cheque I noticed the beautiful artwork at VGH. I may also support a local artist and buy some artwork for myself! Thank you.

Where does the other half of the “50” go? It goes to the VGH Foundation, to support the funding of equipment for our hospitals and community-based programs. Proceeds from the 2016/2017 ‘Won’ Vancouver 50/50 Staff Lottery meant a contribution of $71,000.00 to the Foundation. The Foundation used that money to purchase a number of items for Vancouver community and acute services. Items purchased to support Community Services include: a van for the Venture program, dopplers for the Youth ICM Team, and comfort kits for the Youth Addictions Residential program. Purchases for Acute Services include lead aprons for Cardiac Cath Lab, portable ceiling lifts for the Hospitalist Unit, bedside suction regulators for ICU, respiratory muscle strength measuring tools for the Pulmonary Function Lab and patient Staxi chairs to support mobility around VGH.
