BC Children's Hospital is the only full-service acute-care facility in the province dedicated solely to child health. Our research and treatment programs are shaped but the simple fact that children cannot be treated like adults. Children, for instance, are more susceptible to serious infections than adults. The range of ages and sizes of the children who come through our doors also has a significant impact on treatment and the equipment required ? everything from breathing tubes to beds has to be sized to meet the individual patient?s needs.,,By making a donation to BC Children's Hospital in lieu of traditional wedding favours, you help ensure the most urgent needs of the hospital are met. You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation and we will provide you with materials to recognize your thoughtful gift.
