Help keep cancer care patients close to home  

There’s no doubt that cancer is a diagnosis we all fear. By creating a Centre of Excellence in Cancer Care and developing a more “full service” oncology centre, we can keep patients close to home and help them avoid travelling out of town for treatment during one of the most frightening and stressful times in their lives.

Help keep families together when they need each other the most

Reducing the number of infants and children who must travel outside the region for treatment is a key focus of PRHC’s Maternal Child Program. Your donations are helping fund the equipment and technology their experts must have in order to deliver specialized care to our smallest patients, keeping families together when they need each other the most.

Help saves lives in the emergency room

Seconds count when you’re saving a life and it takes essential medical equipment to deliver first rate emergency patient care. It is critical our physicians, nurses and staff have access to the right equipment the moment a seriously ill or injured patient arrives.

Help shorten wait times and reduce pain the the operating room  

Investments in surgical innovation help our surgical teams stay on the leading edge of a rapidly advancing field, allow the introduction of innovative surgeries close to home, and attract and retain expert surgeons and staff.

Help provide doctors with state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment  

As talented as our doctors are, it’s next to impossible to treat what you can’t see. Diagnostic imaging of the inside of the body is one of the strongest pieces of diagnostic evidence at a doctor’s disposal. At PRHC, up to 120,000 diagnostic imaging exams are performed each year on patients of every age, from the tiniest of babies to the most fragile elderly.

Help reduce turnaround times for crucial laboratory results

Before physicians can treat, they must first diagnose. That’s why lab tests and the equipment needed to perform them make up the backbone of patient care at PRHC. More than 1.4 million lab tests were performed here in the last year alone. In fact, up to 80% of a patient’s medical chart is comprised of lab tests. Your investment will help increase accuracy and reduce turnaround times for crucial results.
