A heartfelt thank you to our local Penticton Boston Pizza for their donation of $1,355 in support of the Women and Children’s Centre. This generous gift was raised through the Kids Cards program for September, with 100% of the profits being donated to the South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation.

Community support is what makes stronger healthcare possible. We are deeply thankful to our local Boston Pizza team and everyone who helped make this contribution happen.

As we come to the end of the year, we are taking a moment to reflect on what this community has made possible. These photos tell that story. They represent patients, families, healthcare teams, and a community that continues to show up with compassion and heart. None of it happens without you.

If you have been thinking about making a gift, there is still time. A donation made by tomorrow will receive a 2025 tax receipt and will continue to support care close to home for families across the South Okanagan Similkameen.

Thank you for believing in local healthcare and for everything you have helped us achieve this year.

Andrea, Ian’s wife, was scheduled to work Christmas Day at Penticton Regional Hospital, so Ian and the kids packed up Christmas dinner and brought it to the hospital so they could be together. Just family, food, and a few moments carved out in the middle of a shift.

It’s a reminder of what so many healthcare workers and their families do every year. Holidays don’t stop. Patients still need care. And families adapt, finding small ways to make the day special.

To everyone working through the holidays, and to the families who support them, thank you. Your sacrifices matter, and they do not go unnoticed.

From all of us at the SOS Medical Foundation, we are so grateful for you.

As the year comes to a close, we want to pause and say thank you.

Because of your kindness and support, families in our community are receiving care closer to home, when they need it most. Your generosity makes a real difference, not just in equipment or programs, but in moments that matter to people you may never meet.

Thanks to you, we were able to complete the Oncology Centre and open the Colleen Schneider Walk-In Clinic, bringing vital care and peace of mind to our region.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season filled with warmth, connection, and good health. We are deeply grateful to have you as part of our community.

With heartfelt thanks,
The SOS Medical Foundation Team
