Discover how your donations empower world-class medical professionals and transform pediatric care. BC Children’s Hospital is ranked among the top 10 children’s hospitals worldwide, thanks in large part to leaders like Dr. Sharon Smile in developmental pediatrics.

Q: What advances in developmental pediatrics are you especially excited about? A: "Technology is showing incredible promise... We’re exploring virtual reality in our rehabilitation unit to create immersive therapy experiences that can enhance children’s upper-limb function, balance, and daily activities." Q: When you imagine the future of developmental care, what are you most optimistic about? A: "I’m excited about embedding research into care... and supporting early diagnosis and interventions for conditions like autism spectrum disorder and cerebral palsy." Q: How are equity, diversity, and inclusion being integrated into your approach to care? A: "We’re identifying families who aren’t accessing our programs and clinics—and understanding why. We're also committed to inclusive recruitment to ensure our team reflects the diversity of the communities we serve." 🔗 Check out the full interview and more in our Progress Report! https://bit.ly/40BrUZl

This year, they’re hosting their annual donated pop-up shop, where kids and families can dress up and celebrate Halloween right here in the hospital! Over the past 13 years, their generosity has helped transform the hospital into a place where kids can simply be kids, from providing costumes for in-hospital trick-or-treating to supporting essential programs like child life, music therapy, and pet therapy. Together, we’re bringing comfort, joy, and healing to our young patients.

Hermann had a profound love for gardening. He often dreamt of creating a peaceful space for children who were spending time in the hospital, hoping for a garden where they could find joy amidst their challenges. This dream became a reality through his generous spirit and thoughtful estate planning. After his passing, Hermann’s legacy gift to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation provided funding for the beautiful Live 5-2-1-0 garden and essential capital equipment. Hermann’s legacy continues to bring comfort to young patients and their families. Once a newcomer to Canada, Hermann’s many friendships became like family. Walks with his dear friend near the hospital inspired Hermann’s hope for a serene garden, and now that hope lives on. As we recognize Make a Will Week, consider the lasting impact you can make through your own Will. Leaving a gift can create a meaningful legacy, just like Hermann’s. Let’s talk about the power of legacy gifts. For more information on including BC Children's Hospital in your Will, visit our website https://lnkd.in/gYgbtncQ
