Big Day of Giving raises over $861K for QEH

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation’s Big Day of Giving was an outstanding success, raising more than $861,000 and counting. The second annual fundraising day took place on Wednesday.  Donations to the QEH Foundation directly support the purchase of priority medical equipment for many provincial services located at the Island’s largest hospital. The QEH is home to PEI’s Cancer Treatment Centre, the Provincial NICU, and soon, the Island’s new Mental Health & Addictions Emergency Department and Short Stay Unit. This year funds will also support the hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Department, as there is a need for three new X-ray machines.
