YOUR DOLLARS AT WORK

Your Donations Keep more Cape Bretoners Home for Care

When you trust the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation with your donations, you are helping purchase the equipment doctors and nurses need to provide the best care to their patients. You also increase the level of specialized services available at the Regional Hospital, such as cancer and palliative care.

Since 1991, thanks to the generosity of the community, more than $15 million has been raised to purchase equipment and complete enhancements to the Regional Hospital.

Some of the past projects our community has made possible include:

  • The expanision of the Cape Breton Cancer Centre, which now provides radiation therapy to 97% of cancer patient at home in Cape Breton
  • The creation of the An Cala Palliative Care Unit, which is a comforting place for patients who need pain management or end of life care
  • The purchase of a $600,000 state-of-the-art monitoring system for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which allows doctors and nurses to properly monitor the more 300 pre-mature and ill babies who rely on this Unit every year
  • The purchase of a MRI and Bone Densitometer for the Cape Breton Regional Hospital
  •  The purchase of critical and specialized pieces of equipment for the Pediatrics unit, Renal Dialysis Unit, Harris Emergency Department and the Intensive Care Unit.
