Bringing Bigger Better Cancer Care to the North Shore
When the Dr. Paul Klimo Medical Oncology Clinic opened 20 years ago, it was a fantastic new facility that provided for the needs of the population at the time. Fast forward 20 years and it’s one again time for change. Two in five of us can expect a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime and it’s estimated that the population of the North Shore will grow by 18% by 2040.
Now you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your family, friends and neighbours by helping us raise $20 million to develop Bigger, Better Cancer Care right here on the North Shore.
Moving with the times
Join our Cancer Care campaign and be a part of the solution that will transform care for cancer patients at Lions Gate Hospital. Your generous donations to the campaign will be used to fund a bigger, better Oncology Clinic on the ground floor of the existing LGH building, helping more people not just survive, but thrive, following a cancer diagnosis.
A plan is in place for a new, larger Oncology Clinic at Lions Gate Hospital. It will be located on the main floor of the hospital and it will:
- Expand the footprint of the clinic by 135%
- Increase patient spaces from 22 to 40 for more personalized care
- Add 3 new counselling rooms + 3 new exam rooms to keep patients embedded in the clinic for the duration of their care, allowing increased access to services
- Bring physician offices from community into the clinic for on-site follow up visits
- Increase the size of the Pharmacy to 1,946 sq. ft. from 529 sq. ft.
If your life was on the line, wouldn’t you want the best possible cancer services right here in our community?
