UBC Nursing Gets $40M Boost | Canada News
Description
A $40 million gift from alumni Matthew and Natalie MacIsaac makes UBC’s School of Nursing the largest single donation ever to a nursing program in Canada—and it’s now officially named the MacIsaac School of Nursing, housed in its own new health building. The funding will revolutionize nursing education through expanded simulation labs and cutting-edge research, including AI applications for safer medication practices. With B.C. facing a critical nursing shortage—projected to need 26,000 more nurses by 2031 and one-third of current nurses considering leaving—the investment could reshape healthcare delivery. As parents of four who prioritize health and education, the MacIsaacs are betting big on training the next generation of nurses to tackle systemic challenges and advance health equity across Canada.
