Have you, or someone you love, ever had to wait for surgery? If so, you know the anxiety long wait times create. They mean more pain, more stress, and more time away from the people you love most.
You have the power to change that, and your support today will have TRIPLE THE IMPACT, thanks to matching gifts from Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg and Impark.
At Victoria Hospital, our operating rooms are at the heart of surgical care, where precision, innovation, and compassion come together every day. Your gift today will equip our fully integrated Minimally Invasive Surgical Suite with the latest technology.
In other words, you have the power to transform how we deliver care. This upgrade will give our surgeons and nurses access to the latest technology, supporting better patient outcomes.
Your donation this holiday season will power:
- Shorter wait times so your family and loved ones get the care they need, sooner
- Less pain and lower risk of complications thanks to cutting-edge technology
- Faster recovery times so patients can get back to their families and back to their lives


Every improvement translates into better care for your community. Your gift will directly impact your neighbours, friends, and loved ones by transforming how surgery is delivered to more than 7,000 surgical patients every year.
Pretty impressive, right? Well, that’s The Vic for you! Home to Manitoba’s largest day surgery program, procedures range from urology; gynecology; cancer care; ear, nose and throat; plastic surgery; and bariatric surgery. By upgrading our aging operating room, you can give thousands of Manitobans access to the safest, most advanced care available.
The proposed upgrades to the surgical suite include:
- A state-of-the-art lighting platform providing physicians with improved visibility of fine details by reducing shadows in the surgical field
- Three seamless displays that offer more clarity and better visuals
- Streamlined equipment layout, improving staff safety and efficiency for the surgical team
- Increased surgical efficiency for faster turnover of the room, reducing wait times
All of this will turn our operating room into a modern, efficient space where surgical staff have everything they need at their fingertips.
The Vic’s surgery teams are doing the very best they can, but they are working with equipment that is past its prime. When it’s your loved one needs care, you want the very best equipment available.
Your donation this holiday season will bring this best-in-class technology to Victoria Hospital! You can give the gift of reduced wait times, shortened recovery, and improved wellness to your community.
This investment isn’t just about new equipment. It’s about advancing the future of surgery for our community and ensuring every patient receives the safest, highest-quality care possible. Your gift right now will help make this possible.
Thank you for being a champion for healthcare at Victoria Hospital!
With much appreciation,
Heather Orellana
Executive Director & Chief Nursing Officer (Interim)
