The Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s newly launched Imaging is Power campaign aims to raise $11 million to fund new medical imaging technology and equipment at Royal Jubilee Hospital and Victoria General Hospital
Medical-imaging technology is crucial to health care for many pediatric patients, including two-year-old Odette Shackleton.
“MRI has become a very important part of Odette’s life and ours,” said Shackleton, who hopes those medical trips to the mainland become a thing of the past if the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s newly launched Imaging is Power campaign reaches its $11-million fundraising goal. She and her husband also have two boys, and caring for them involves sharing duties when Odette has to be away, she said. “Having more MRIs running more smoothly, reducing wait times, that makes a huge difference for us and has a profound impact on how we’re able to care for Odette.”
