Dartmouth General Hospital Foundation - 2023
In 2023, The Orchid Gala raised $500,000 to develop the first Deanne Reeve Pelvic Health Suite at the Dartmouth General Hospital. Opened in February 2025, the suite is the first of it's kind in Atlantic Canada, offering a dedicated clinical space for both urology and gynecology services. This innovative, state-of-the-art facility will greatly expand the Dartmouth General's capacity to perform two critical pelvic health procedures - hysteroscopy and cystoscopy which will free up valuable time in the endoscopy and operating rooms.
