Your
Impact

When you attend and support Lakeridge Health Foundation events, you're directly helping to advance health care in our communities and ensure your families, friends, coworkers and neighbours have the care they deserve, close to home.

Over the last five decades, donations and sponsorships have transformed the health care landscape of our community with improved access, enhanced services, new equipment and the building of new, state-of-the-art spaces.

How Your Support Makes A Real Difference

Supporters and community members play a big role in bringing new technology and resources to Durham Region. Many don't realize the government doesn't cover the costs of many equipment needs and capital redevelopment projects for hospitals. Because of this, the most generous communities have the more advanced health care.

Thanks to donors, organizations and community groups, we've accomplished the following:

  • All dialysis machines were replaced in Whitby and Oshawa
  • A PET-CT scanner is now operational in Oshawa
  • Robotic Surgery has expanded cancer treatment options
  • Cancer Diagnosis wait times are drastically decreased thanks to Digital Pathology
  • Our Interventional Radiology suite has gone from the smallest in Canada to one of the most advanced
