To raise funds for Island Health’s pulmonology and community programs, the Island Health Foundation is hosting their 21st annual Gala of Hope on April 27, according to a news release.

Citing shortness of breath as one of the top reasons for patient visits to Island Health’s Emergency Department, the hospital expanded its pulmonology services in July of 2023. The gala, titled “In Our Wildest Dreams,” will feature “wild animals, lush landscapes and vibrant food,” as well as a live-auction to support the expansion of local healthcare equipment and pulmonology care.
