When Covid-19 restrictions kept the Dragon’s Den-inspired competition from taking place in person, Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation partnered with Hemmings House Pictures to let the show go on.
This year, the hospital foundation’s medical research competition, aka Lion’s Den, is coming back in the form of a film. The movie will focus on the behind-the-scenes journey of three teams of medical professionals competing to win half a million-dollar prize to fund their project.
“By capturing that on film, [the foundation] could really explain to a wider audience the importance of philanthropy and really the power that the passion physicians can have long-term in healthcare in this province,” said Shannon Hunter, director of marketing and communications.

SAINT JOHN, N.B. New Brunswick’s first ever long-term care simulation lab has officially opened in Saint John, giving researchers the chance to learn more about the spread of viruses - like COVID-19 - in long-term care facilities, and how to help prevent them. The newly-renovated research space is located in Loch Lomond Villa in Saint John, N.B. The lab has been built to replicate a typical double-resident room with a shared bathroom, tub facility and hallways. “In a simulated environment, you can control everything that happens,” says Rose McCloskey, nursing professor and the leader of the University of New Brunswick project. “We can introduce the variables we want to study, we can control things that we want to study, and so that’s one of the benefits of a simulated environment.”
