Game-Changing Technology Made Possible Because of Donors

Detecting and treating cancer early saves lives. As many of you know, two donor-funded 3D Mammography Screening Units are in use at the Katherine Wright Centre. We are delighted that the third 3D Diagnostic Unit, located in Medical Imaging, has been in operation since March 17, 2025. This will allow for the transition from a conventional (2D image) to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3D image) technology for all patients undergoing breast imaging.

This state-of-the-art technology is a game-changer allowing for superior imaging and more confident assessment of breast abnormalities at an earlier stage, ultimately saving lives. Detecting and treating cancer earlier, before it has spread, is one of the most impactful ways to improve outcomes.

Special thanks to our radiologists, who kicked off the 2022 campaign with $50,000 and to the entire community who donated. In addition, CIBC provided a generous $150,000 gift.

With the community’s support and the inspirational Master Packaging gift of $550,000 we now have the power to do something extraordinary for women.
