Alberni Lifeline

Alberni Lifeline Alberni Lifeline is 'Your Local Personal Emergency Response Service'.

In 1987, the administration at WCGH brought the idea of Lifeline’s Medical Alert Service to the Alberni Valley. Sharon Fedirchuk was contact by a friend working as a nurse in the ER at WCGH and asked if she would be interested in volunteering her time to set up and coordinate the Lifeline program. Sharon felt it was a very worthwhile service and she installed the first unit in the Port Alberni on March 29, 1988. Sharon continued to volunteer in the role of coordinator for the Alberni Lifeline Program until late in 1989/early 1990. At that time, she handed over the coordinator role to one of her dedicated volunteers, Leroy Loewen. When Sharon retired in 2000 once again she offered her time as a volunteer for Alberni Lifeline. Over the years Alberni Lifeline has continued to grow in Port Alberni, Tofino, Ucluelet and Bamfield. Eventually ownership and operations of Alberni Lifeline was given over to the West Coast General Hospital Foundation and the profits generated by the program are donated into the Foundation. WCGH Foundation uses the funds generated to purchase new medical equipment, improve services and assist with funding for projects inside WCGH.
