From Facing Advanced Colon Cancer to Growing Our Family
When I was 29, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, recurring when I was 31. After beating it twice, I thought my health challenges were finally behind me. I was determined to live life to the fullest, which at 38 meant enjoying time with my wife and infant son, closing out my term as a school board trustee.
Your impact on cancer care
Given that one in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it is essential to have access to exceptional cancer care closer to home. Donors to North York General (NYGH) enable the purchase of advanced diagnostic equipment and enhanced innovation for the over 5,000 patients with cancer that our teams treat every year.
Women caring for women at NYGH
Each and every day across North York General Hospital (NYGH), inspiring women are hard at work making a difference for our patients and their families. This International Women’s Day (IWD), we are celebrating the impact of female leaders by shining a spotlight on some of the incredible work being done by women, for women in our Maternal and Newborn program.
More living to do
My husband and I were on a trip in Ireland in 2017 when I first noticed a spot of blood in my stool. When it became more pronounced in 2018, my family doctor referred me to a Toronto hospital for a colonoscopy.
Your impact on emergency
Our Emergency Department (ED) remains one of the busiest in the Greater Toronto Area, serving on average 325 patients a day, and as our community grows, this volume will only increase. I’m thrilled that we now have a modern and people-centred space to help us care for even more people.
