The Saint John Dragon Boat Festival
is a fundraising project of
St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to raise funds that help meet the needs of St. Joseph’s Hospital for equipment, research and education. Together with our sponsors, your donations help to ensure St. Joseph’s Hospital continues to meet the needs of the residents of Greater Saint John now and in the future.
Next year's festival will take place on August 25, 2012 8:00am - 5:00pm at the Renforth Wharf in Rothesay, New Brunswick.
This year’s festival will raise funds to purchase innovative equipment including a Radiolucent Spinal Operating Table for Surgical Services and a SLT Laser for the Ophthalmology Clinic.
The purchase of the identified equipment will continue to foster St. Joseph’s Hospital in medical excellence by providing up to date and state of the art equipment for further advancement of the Day Surgery Program and Ophthalmology services offered at St. Joseph’s. The purchase of these two pieces of equipment, at a total cost of $223,000 will allow St. Joseph’s to expand the excellent patient care our community has come to rely on.
