our new hospital will attract the best and the brightest

Giving makes us all better The new Patient Care Centre at Royal Jubilee Hospital highlights Victoria’s leading-edge vision for community health care that will attract and retain excellent medical professionals from around the world. Staff have access to fitness facilities, walking gardens, state-of-the-art equipment and live-links to knowledge centres such as UBC and other health authorities. Workstations are ergonomically designed and patient rooms standardized, eliminating the need to assess layout and equipment from one room to another, and allowing more time for direct patient care. Funds raised by the Building Care Together campaign will help transform the future of health care in our community, creating an environment where our medical staff can thrive and do their best work every day.

Unretouched photos of a LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% user at week 0 and week 16.

Before

After

The onset of effect with LATISSE® solution is gradual. In the clinical trial, the majority of LATISSE® users saw significant improvement by 2 months.1 Individual results may vary.

If discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance. It is possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation, number of eyelash hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using LATISSE®. LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker, and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. Important Safety Information If you are using prescription products for lowering eye pressure or have a history of eye pressure problems, only use LATISSE® under close doctor supervision. LATISSE® may cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible, and there is a potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent. There is a potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE® solution comes in repeated contact with skin surfaces. If you develop or experience any eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor immediately about continued use of LATISSE®. The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. For more information on LATISSE ®, please see the accompanying full prescribing information. 1. LATISSE® Prescribing Information. APC13RC09
