Together, we can ensure another incredible year of discovery and innovation.
Thanks to the dedication and commitment of donors like you, this past year was a breakthrough year for our hospitals and research institutions.
Groundbreaking discoveries were made, and huge strides were taken in the early detection of disease. As a result, hundreds of patients’ lives will be forever changed for the better.
Thanks to you, several key accomplishments were made in 2007 including:
- the identification of a new gene associated with the late onset of Alzheimer’s disease
- the first North American implantation of biodegradable material that
encourages the heart’s own healthy tissue to grow and heal itself - a revolutionary new treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation that helps to alleviate severe depression and possibly a host of other neurological disorders including Parkinson’s disease and Tourette’s Syndrome
- the opening a state-of-the-art Epilepsy Monitoring Unit for improved diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy
- the purchase of Aquilion One, a sophisticated CT Scanner capable of detecting the early warning signs of heart attack and stroke, and the first of its kind in Canada
Those are just a few of the many extraordinary breakthroughs and vital new treatments that your generous support helped to make possible in 2007!
