It was the culmination of a whole lot of hard work, lobbying various levels of government, and hard working fundraising, but the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital went from the drawing board to reality.  Its a facility that allows families to be closer together as a child goes through treatment for whatever health care issue they are dealing with.  Its meant people no longer have to drive or fly to far off places like Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Winnipeg and others to get treatment for their child.  Its doesn’t end with the opening of the hospital.  Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital is in constant need of new equipment, and technology to keep it at the forefront of medical care.

The two day Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation Radiothon has launched on radio stations across the province, and we at 620CKRM and our other Harvard Media radio stations in Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton are proud to be part of it.

Until Wednesday evening you will hear some of the inspiring stories of families who went through health challenges together by being at the hospital, while at the same time, you will be encouraged to donate.  There are various ways you can, from a one time donation, to setting up a monthly payment on your credit card and more.

All of the money raised stays right here, and supports the work being done at JPCH.  You can call 1-888-808-Kids.  You can also get more information, and make a donation at www.pattisonchildrens.ca
