Why We Need You
The Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre is the province’s only pediatric hospital, serving all our children. At the Janeway Foundation, we work to ensure our children’s hospital has the financial support it needs to offer our kids the best care. We purchase state of the art equipment, improve infrastructure, invest in research and technology and provide grants for continuing education for staff each year, thanks to the generous donations and fundraising efforts from the community.
The Janeway treats all children and youth (up to 18) in Newfoundland and Labrador and provides exceptional care during each of the over 104,000 visits that children and their families make to our hospital each year.
Our health is fundamental to our lives, and no one is more important to us than our children. Because of this, the Janeway is seen as a cornerstone of our community.
According to the 2022 Health Accord Report, across the ten Canadian provinces, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have worse health outcomes with (i) a higher rate of deaths from heart disease, cancer, and stroke, (ii) the lowest life expectancy of all the provinces, (iii) the highest level of complex health needs among children, and (iv) the highest proportion of older people with three or more chronic illnesses. We need to think differently about how we approach healthcare, and it needs to start in childhood. If we make our children healthier, if we correct their acute and chronic health concerns more effectively in childhood, we will have a healthier population.
We are working hard to drive change in the care we can provide to our children, but it takes visionary community support to make this happen.
There are significant strains on the healthcare system, services, operations, and facilities. It is new, innovative ideas, changes to the way things have always been done, and better use of technology that will resolve our future challenges.
Your support will make our future healthier.
Your Donations – Your Impact
Over the last 40 years generous donors like you have made sure we have the latest cutting-edge technology here in the province, offered incredible educational opportunities to staff, driven pediatric research, and created specialized health programs. Donations have improved diagnostics, ensured less invasive procedures and most significantly, enhanced the care provided to children in Newfoundland and Labrador.
To show specific impact, here are the stories of two Janeway kids who have first-hand experience using the vital equipment and benefitting from specialized respiratory services: James, a surgical patient, and John, a CF respiratory patient.
