Finding Magic In Helping Others 

“Providing comfort to someone through a smile or a conversation is an incredible feeling. Every day that I’m here, I get a chance to make a real difference. I feel more alive, more filled with the spirit of giving than ever before,”

RVH Experience Directs Future Path 

“At RVH I wasn’t treated like a 16-year-old. I got to witness surgeries; most students don’t get that opportunity unless they are in medical school. I got it in Grade 11.”

Gifts That Keep Giving 

“People come in and say, ‘I’ve never seen a gift shop like this!’ Every time we sell something, that gift becomes a gift in the form of patient care and that benefits everybody in the region who uses this hospital.”
