UBCO School of Nursing’s 11th annual Global Gala is set for next Friday night in downtown Kelowna.
The event is a fundraising initiative for the university’s global health practicum program. Each year nursing students have an opportunity to travel to Ghana and Zambia to provide health care. The global health practicum is part of the students’ final clinical practice experience and provides an opportunity to practice nursing in a setting outside of Canada.
This year’s Global Gala is being held at The Laurel Packinghouse. The doors open at 6 p.m., and the dinner is scheduled to start at 7 o’clock.
There will be live entertainment and a Casino Royale theme during the event, which raises funds for health initiatives, support outreach clinics and the purchase of medical equipment in Ghana and Zambia.
