Broselow Cart helps doctors act quickly when a child is in distress.

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.
