Campaign Completed - Thank You So Much!

On the North Shore we are fortunate to have a medical and cancer outpatient clinic conveniently located at Lions Gate Hospital. The services provided by the clinic, go well beyond chemotherapy treatments. A multi-disciplinary team provides blood transfusions, immuno-therapy, diagnostic procedures, symptom management support, a specialist pharmacy, counselling and a well-stocked resource library for patients.

However, as the demand for our services continues to expand, it’s clear that our current facilities are no longer adequate. Our Oncology Clinic was last updated almost 20 years ago and is struggling to keep up with the increasing needs of our growing and aging population.

Karen Baillie, Oncology Clinician at LGH says: “A modernized, spacious clinic will enhance our team approach to cancer care, benefitting, patieitnts, their families and dedicated staff.”

Your contributions will help transform care for our cancer patients at LGH. Your generous donations to our Cancer Care Campaign will be used to fund a new purpose-built Centre on the ground floor of the existing LGH building.

With your support, we are able to:

• Double the size of the clinic
• Increase the number of treatment spaces from 22 to 40
• Add three new counselling rooms
• Almost triple the size of the Oncology Pharmacy
• Double office space for staff research and administration

Receiving a cancer diagnosis is unquestionably frightening and life- altering, but with improved treatment options more people do survive and live well. Having a trusted team with the right resources, expertise and space can offer reassurance during a time when your life is on the line.
