In our next episode: From faster and more accurate screening and diagnosis to offering minimally-invasive procedures, the latest advancements in medical imaging have revolutionized patient care. But what happens when your local hospital finds its budget stretched, and can’t purchase new diagnostic equipment – or even maintain its older MRI, X-Ray, and Ultrasound machines? In this episode of Power to Heal, you’ll also discover how the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation is taking on the urgent challenge of replacing out-of-date medical imaging technology through an ambitious, $10-million fundraising campaign.

ABOUT THE POWER TO HEAL PODCAST
Presented by Peace Arch Hospital Foundation in White Rock, British Columbia, Power to Heal takes you behind the scenes of an innovative hospital foundation and introduces you to the team who find new and sometimes surprising ways to engage with the local community and help fund the best health care possible in the region.
An integral part of hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide are their hospitals. The engine that drives those institutions are their foundations, without which the wheels of progress would turn very slowly. This series uncovers the ways Peace Arch Hospital Foundation connects with the community to stay ahead of health issues, challenge the norm and foster a spirit of innovation.
Since 1988, the Foundation has raised over $195 million for capital projects, medical equipment, and community health programs. Their passionate and caring team’s number one priority is the prudent stewardship of your gifts and the resulting positive impact on patients and medical staff at Peace Arch Hospital and the entire White Rock-South Surrey community.
The Power to Heal series is hosted by Wayne Cox, veteran television/radio broadcaster and long-time resident of the White Rock/South Surrey area.
