A closer look at our journey, our people and what drives us—day in, day out.

  • When Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025, she suddenly found herself leaning on the care and treatment available at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. 

From her diagnosis and surgery to radiation treatment, Jennifer experienced firsthand the compassion, expertise and innovative technology that supported her throughout her journey. She also benefited from donor-funded technology that helped her surgical team precisely locate and remove her tumour. 

Today, Jennifer is giving back. After experiencing the impact of donor support firsthand, she has found new meaning in sharing her story and helping raise funds for the hospital that played such an important role in her care. 

“We need to realize how lucky we are to have this hospital in our backyard because if they weren’t there to do all the things that they did for me, I wouldn’t be here.” - Jennifer.
