SHEILA AND BERNARD JOEL’S LEGACY GIFT PAVES THE WAY FOR FUTURE MEDICAL INNOVATIONS

We are deeply honoured to announce a significant $2.5 million contribution from the Sheila & Bernard Joel Life-Saving Medical Equipment Foundation.

This remarkable gift will be dedicated to acquiring life-saving equipment and supporting groundbreaking advancements in medical care at The Prince Charles Hospital.

The Joel family’s unwavering commitment to medical research and patient care is a testament to their enduring legacy.

Last year, we were grateful to receive $1.3 million from the Estate of Sheila and Bernard Joel, which has played a crucial role in furthering our mission. Their support has already had a transformative impact, and this new contribution will continue to advance medical research and provide essential resources for thousands of patients.

Many researchers at The Prince Charles Hospital remember Sheila with great affection and are inspired by her dedication to improving medical care.

This new donation will honour their memory by enabling further innovations in heart and lung health, helping to create a healthier future for our community.

Let Sheila and Bernard Joel’s legacy inspire you.
