How we're redefining emergency care
St. Paul's Foundation
St. Paul’s Foundation raises funds for enhanced patient care, research, and equipment at Providence Health Care sites.
See how generosity is powering innovation, compassion, and hope across Providence Health Care. Whether it’s in the Teck Emergency Centre, the NICU, or at the forefront of life-changing research—together, we are healing better.
Transforming emergency medicine
In a world where compassion is both necessary and rare, we believe empathy is the starting point for excellent care. Providence Health Care strives toward something beyond treatment: true healing.
Our efforts to ‘heal better’ take center stage in our brand-new issue of Promise Magazine. From advancements in emergency medicine to new approaches for chronic pain, you’ll discover how we’re making care more innovative, heartfelt, and human.
Learn about the highly skilled care patients experience in the Teck Emergency Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital. Behind every quick decision is research that’s shaping how emergency medicine is delivered today – and how it will evolve in the new Jim Pattison Medical Campus.
Faster breakthroughs closer to home
The new Phase 1 Clinical Trials Unit at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital is opening doors to faster, more effective medical treatments developed right here in Canada. As the first non-cancer Phase 1 unit in BC, it marks a major milestone in advancing early-stage clinical research.
Hear from Dr. Darryl Knight, Vice President of Research & Academic Affairs at Providence Health Care, as he shares the impact of this groundbreaking initiative.
A head start in the NICU: how monthly giving powers lifesaving care
When baby Yukon arrived eight weeks early, his dads, Greg and Allen, had to leave Whitehorse—where there’s no NICU—and rush to St. Paul’s Hospital. From the moment Yukon was admitted, he received round-the-clock care: IV antibiotics, a feeding tube, and constant monitoring. But what stood out most to Greg and Allen was the compassion and guidance they received.
That kind of care doesn’t happen by accident. It’s made possible by people like you.
Monthly giving provides steady, reliable support that helps us plan ahead, hire specialized staff, and invest in critical equipment. A gift of $15 a month becomes $180 a year—enough to make a lasting difference for families facing the unexpected.
It’s easy, impactful, and ensures we’re always ready—just like we were for baby Yukon.
