PAH Capital Equipment Funding Approval Process

Peace Arch Hospital’s unit managers are in charge of drafting their capital equipment wish lists. This typically occurs each year between October-December. Unit Managers must then finalize their list and submit to the PAH Executive Director for final approval. 

Note: Unit Managers should ensure that they gain insight from unit staff, physicians, and department heads when creating equipment wish lists.

PAH Executive Director meets with Foundation and Auxiliary organizations to determine funding allocation. This typically occurs in January of each year. After this, the Foundation submits a final list to the PAHF Finance Committee, where they decide on final approval. This typically occurs in February of each year. 

Kelly Marra is available to answer questions about the process and provide regular check-ins with Unit Managers on status of approved equipment (i.e. has it been ordered, has it arrived, what is the impact). 

If you have any questions along the way, please contact Kelly Marra at Kelly.Marra@fraserhealth.ca

Upon approval of the equipment list, Unit Managers must fill out the mandatory equipment ‘Impact Report’ (DOWNLOAD HERE) and submit it to Kelly Marra at kelly.marra@fraserhealth.ca

When requested, Unit Managers must also report back to the Foundation ( to Donor Relations Coordinator or Philanthropy Assistant) on status of Foundation-funded equipment.

Once the equipment arrives, we request that all Unit Managers ensure our ‘Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’ stickers are attached to approved equipment items (where applicable), and that donor “tours” of the equipment can occur following the equipment’s arrival on site. 

If at any time you would like to request a change to any of the equipment on the list, please complete our ‘Capital Equipment Change Request Form’ (DOWNLOAD HERE) and obtain signature approval from your Clinical Director and PAH Executive Director, before returning to PAHF Executive Director, Stephanie Beck – stephanie@pahfoundation.ca for final approval.
