As the only hospital in B.C. offering trauma, cardiac care, neurosurgery, high-risk obstetrics, neonatal intensive care, and acute mental health care all on one campus, RCH provides critical services to countless patients every year.

The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is offering a unique way to support these essential services through its 50/50 Lottery, which is nearing its final days.
