Maximizing Impact Through Matching Donations
Peace Arch Hospital’s medical imaging department is in critical need of modernization. Outdated equipment leads to subpar images, delays in care, and discomfort for patients.
• We are in the final stages of a $10 million campaign for new imaging equipment. From May 4-August 25, we seek to raise the final $1 million to fund this new equipment.
• Generous matching donors, the Surrey and White Rock Firefighters Charitable Societies, will match all gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000.
• Every donation, no matter the size, will have double the impact in advancing our medical imaging capabilities. This matching opportunity amplifies the power of community support in achieving our fundraising goal.
Join us in Making a Difference
• Community support is vital in bringing this critical project to fruition. Whether through donations, advocacy, or spreading the word, every action counts in shaping the future of healthcare in our community. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of patients and families served by Peace Arch Hospital.

Spring Clean the Medicine Cabinet
Here are a few tips to clean up your medicine cabinet and other places where medication and vitamins are stored: Gather all medications in one place. Check the expiration date of each item. Set aside any medications that you no longer take or that have expired. Set aside any medication that is not in its original container or whose appearance, consistency, or odour has changed. Take all discarded medications and vitamins to your pharmacist for safe and ecological disposal. Do not throw them into the waste basket, sink, or toilet. The Medicine Shoppe can help with the cleanup process and disposal.

Heel Pain Management
Effective pain management for cracked heels, or heel fissures, is crucial for alleviating discomfort and promoting healing. Cracked heels often stem from dry skin, moisture deficiency, or underlying medical conditions. To address the pain linked to this condition, various strategies can be employed. Moisturization is paramount, keeping the skin hydrated to prevent further cracking. Gentle exfoliation aids in removing dead skin cells but should be done cautiously to avoid exacerbating the issue. Soaking feet in warm water softens the skin, offering relief. Well-fitting footwear with adequate cushioning helps manage pain and prevents worsening. Seeking timely treatment can prevent infections and further complications, ensuring swift recovery.
