Strong community roots are woven into the fabric of what makes us Atlantic Canadian. When the going gets tough we step up and weather the storm together – protecting and supporting each other.

The QEII COVID-19 Response Fund directly supports local response efforts based on immediate and evolving frontline needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

When you support the QEII COVID-19 Response Fund, you help ensure that the QEII is equipped and prepared, regardless of what this pandemic brings our way. Funds raised will help protect patients and staff from exposure and ensure that the right technology and items are in place to care for those affected by the virus.

Working with the QEII Health Sciences Centre to identify key areas of need, the QEII Foundation has created a fund that will benefit local COVID-19 response efforts at the QEII. The fund is focused on creating immediate impact in Nova Scotia’s fight against COVID-19 – whether through empowering at-home self-care, activating virtual care solutions or building efficiencies in communication in the health centre in this new environment – this fund is here to support QEII patients and staff where its needed most.

Funds raised through this QEII COVID-19 Response Fund will also support the Nova Scotia COVID-19 Health Research Coalition — formed to bring research leaders and foundation partners from across the province together with an ultimate goal of finding a vaccine. Learn more about the Coalition here.
