Cancer Care
Keeping cancer care close to home.
When a cancer diagnosis touches someone’s life, everything changes. Life almost stands still. At Grand River Regional Cancer Centre, we understand the magnitude and impact of learning you or a loved one have cancer. Its specialized treatment and personalized, patient-centred care is our core purpose.
The main site and cancer partner of the Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program, we’ve been providing leading-edge care to patients across our communities for 20 years. The Cancer Centre is a full-service cancer treatment and research centre, with special areas of care including:
- chemotherapy
- radiation therapy
- supportive care (e.g. social work, registered dietitians, spiritual care, etc.)
- inpatient oncology
- pain and symptom management
- palliative care
- clinical trials
Today we see more than 400 patients per day (on average), and the need is expected to rise. We need donors, like you, to keep innovative and exceptional patient-focused cancer care close to home.
Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of patients and healthcare providers alike. Be a part of the Tools of Care campaign and help equip our incredible healthcare team with the right tools for their jobs. Your donation will go directly towards purchasing essential medical equipment, updating existing tools, and ensuring that healthcare professionals have access to the latest advancements in technology.
