Donors and donations are the back-bone and lifeblood of the Powell River Hospital Foundation and all that it does to improve the quality of patient care at our hospital. Costly improvements like the CT Scan and up-to-date Ultrasound diagnostic equipment have underlined the importance of donations. Here, long time Foundation Director Dave Harper, left, and Chair Mike Chisholm, honour Robert Lacey, a constant and generous donor over the years, with a plaque recognizing his contributions. “I’ve lived in Powell River all my life,” says Robert. “Powell River’s been very good to me, and I take a lot of satisfaction in giving back, in the form of donations to the Hospital Foundation.”

In Memorium

4/6/2017

 
In Memorium
Kevin David Caul
April 6, 1951 – January 3, 2017
Members of the Powell River Hospital Foundation are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of a close friend not only of the Foundation, but to many members of our community whom he helped over the years.
Kevin worked closely with the Foundation and saw great improvements over the years to the Imaging Department in our Hospital,
most notably a new CAT Scan and, more recently, new ultrasound machines. These improvements allowed many patients to remain in Powell River for timely medical treatments.
Kevin worked in the Hospital for over 35 years, from 1981 to 2017.
We honour both his dedication and friendship to our community.
Thank you, Kevin. We miss you.
