Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Projects: Operation isn’t a game

Operation isn’t a game

When some people think of surgery, the board game Operation may come to mind. This game has players act as ‘doctors’, using small tweezers to remove game pieces from a battery-operated body. Surgery is actually much more intricate than that, and our surgeons require specialized surgical instruments for best results.

Right now, Peace Arch Hospital’s mission to provide exceptional care to our patients close-to-home is facing a critical challenge, and we are turning to our community for assistance. We are in urgent need of replacing several crucial instruments and tools that are vital for performing various orthopedic surgeries.

By utilizing the latest surgical techniques and advancements, orthopedic surgery continues to provide transformative benefits to individuals of all ages, enabling them to lead active and fulfilling lives. Help us raise $120,000 to support the purchase of new surgical equipment!
