With recent drive-thru dinners, 50/50 raffles and support from individuals and corporate donors, the ICCHA/WISH Fund raised more than $155,000 for a new GE-Vivid 4D echocardiogram, which is now in use in the ICCHA/Wish Coronary Care Unit at Royal Inland Hospital.
In addition, in 2021, the non-profit and TRU created the ICCHA/WISH Community Ambassador Bursary Award.
The bursary, worth $40,000, will provide tuition for a local student to complete a four-year nursing degree program. Another goal is to raise $1 million to establish the ICCHA/WISH Community Education Centre in the Nursing Building at TRU.
