Community Fundraising

Cobs Bread at the Driftwood Mall in Courtenay (1002B – 2751 Cliffe Avenue) are working with the Foundation to help raise funds and awareness around our current medical imaging campaign to enhance patient care at the Comox Valley Hospital.

During the week of Giving Tuesday (November 27 to December 3), Cobs will donate $2 for every 6 pack of either butter tarts or fruit mince tarts sold. Please visit their Driftwood Mall location to purchase tarts and feel good knowing you are contributing to new Medical Imaging equipment for the hospital. Tarts freeze very well so they could be purchased for the holidays.

With more than half of all healthcare encounters at the Comox Valley Hospital requiring medical imaging and the vital role these scans play in informing care, the Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation is raising funds for medical imaging equipment. Enhancements to our hospital’s Medical Imaging Department will offer quicker diagnoses, provide more targeted treatment plans, and improve the overall care our loved ones receive.

PetSmart in Courtenay (Unit 700, 444 Lerwick Road) are working with the Foundation to help ensure children who come to the hospital are all offered a stuffed animal. Stuffies help young patients feel more comfortable during their medical stay, easing some of the stress they are experiencing.  Through PetSmart’s “Chance and Friends” program which runs until the end of December this year, you can purchase a stuffie for $6 and it will be donated to the Comox Valley Hospital. These cuddly creatures are given to children through various departments including the maternal-child unit, the emergency department, medical imaging and at the main entrance of the hospital. Our gratitude to PetSmart and to everyone who gets involved in this special way to show care and compassion.

Our gratitude to Valley Home Meals who are offering to donate 5% of all flower sales in support of Cancer Care at the Comox Valley Hospital. Beautiful flowers grown locally at 1828 Knight Road. Open 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday. On weekends, cash-and-carry is available where customers can help themselves to flowers and leave cash or send an e-transfer. Flowers are located in the flower fridge on the right hand side of the office door.
