I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your support of our Hospital Home Lottery program and update you on the profound impact it has had on healthcare initiatives across our province.
Thanks to the incredible support and generosity of New Brunswickers like yourself, for over 15 years the New Brunswick Hospital Home Lottery has continued to surpass expectations. The proceeds generated from ticket sales have allowed us to make significant strides in advancing healthcare services at the Saint John Regional Hospital and beyond.
Funds raised through the lottery have directly contributed to several key areas within our healthcare system. Because of your support of this program, we’ve been able to invest in the expansion of our hospital’s busiest clinic, that serves over 40,000 patients annually. We’ve been able to fund the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment for the New Brunswick Heart Centre, enabling our healthcare professionals to provide the highest standard of care to our patients. Most recently, we’ve been able to support a complete renovation at Ridgewood Addiction Services Centre, transforming the living environment for patients struggling with mental health and addictions seeking treatment.
Additionally, since 2019 thanks to ticket purchaser generosity, a portion of the proceeds from the lottery have supported regional hospitals across the province through our partnership with the Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation, the CHU Dumont Foundation, and the Chalmers Foundation.
I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has played a part in making the New Brunswick Hospital Home Lottery a resounding success. Whether you purchase tickets or spread the word about our cause, your contribution makes a tangible difference in the lives of countless patients and communities.
On behalf of everyone at the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation and the many patients who will benefit from your support, thank you for joining us on our mission of creating a healthier future for all.
With gratitude,
Shannon Hunter
President & CEO, Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation
