"When you donate to the QEH Foundation, you become an invaluable part of our team, standing with us in the operating room as we perform hundreds of life-changing surgeries each year." — Dr. Daniel Costa, Urologist (QEH) A specialized operating room table enables our surgical teams to perform complex procedures on patients facing urological conditions such as kidney stones, bladder cancer, and prostate disease – ensuring that patients can stay close to home here in PEI. This table is now at the end of its life and needs to be replaced. The QEH Foundation's Annual Friends for Life Campaign is raising funds to meet the critical medical equipment needed to keep these essential services here in PEI. 🧡 We need your help! Every single donation counts towards helping our surgical teams deliver top-quality urological care to more than 700 patients each year.

Patrick Ross, owner of China Garden in Charlottetown, and his son Max recently stopped by the office with a delicious lunch for the Foundation team — a post-Yuletide Gala Auction tradition. It was the perfect opportunity to thank him for the restaurant's egg roll fundraiser in support of the QEH Endoscopy Unit! Diagnosed with Crohn's disease 26 years ago, Patrick has undergone dozens of visits, procedures, and surgeries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Through his journey, he witnessed firsthand how vital donations are in ensuring the QEH remains equipped to provide exceptional care for Islanders. Thanks to incredible community support, China Garden raised $3,512 from egg roll sales, far surpassing their original goal of $2,000! A huge thank you to Patrick, Nadine, the China Garden staff, and everyone who purchased egg rolls or supported the fundraiser. Your generosity is helping fund critical medical equipment needs at the QEH. 🧡
