  • When someone you love is facing cancer, every advantage matters.

We're raising $3 million to bring a new da Vinci Surgical Robotic System to Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, helping surgeons perform complex cancer surgeries with greater precision through a minimally invasive approach. This technology can mean smaller incisions, fewer complications, faster recovery, and better outcomes for patients across our region.

Your support will continue the next generation of cancer surgery at Hamilton Health Sciences.
