Each year, the Windsor Regional Cancer Program identifies the needs of the Windsor Regional Cancer
Centre. As the fundraising arm, the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation fundraises to fulfill those needs.
This year, five departments treating cancer patients will be receiving funding, including Systemic
(chemo), Radiation, Pharmacy, Surgery, and Medical Oncology (in-patient). This funding will further
Capital Needs, Cancer Research, and Patient Care for our local community.
One initiative is a new pharmacy space with advanced safety and functionality for preparing anti-cancer
drugs, and a pharmacy robot that will help deliver drugs from our new pharmacy space into the chemo
suite.
Funding will also continue to support the Clinical Trials Navigator Program, among many technological
and radiation tools to advance the Windsor Regional Cancer Program.
“Every year, more than 3,000 new patients are diagnosed with cancer that need our services, and more
than 130,000 visits happen right here in our Cancer Centre” said Nicole Sbrocca, Windsor Regional
Hospital director of Cancer Services, regional director, Erie St. Clair Regional Cancer Program, “this
initiative is just one example of how the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation is supporting the
monumental footprint of the Windsor Regional Cancer Program.
“We are pleased to provide funds that will support so many areas within the Windsor Regional Cancer
Centre, ensuring the Windsor Regional Cancer Program remains one of the leading programs in
Ontario.” said Houida Kassem, executive director of the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation.
