    Comfort & Care

    In some moments, the small things are actually the big things.

Improving the hospital experience for patients and families at the QEII.

WHY:
A simple comfort item goes a long way.
Comfort & Care Grants are intended for projects that would not typically receive funding from the health centre’s operating or capital budgets. Grants are awarded to projects that demonstrate direct benefit to patients and/or their families.

Comfort & Care Grants have funded:

  • Exercise bikes
  • Environmental control units
  • Blanket warmers
  • Patient education
  • Therapy lamps
  • Bedside furniture
Impact story
Healing through spiritual care.

These grants have also contributed to a deeper sense of well-being for patients and families at the QEII. The QEII’s Non-denominational Chapel was updated through funds from Comfort & Care Grants. This dedicated prayer space gives individuals and small groups a welcoming and serene atmosphere for meditation, prayer, and worship.
