Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre and affiliated cancer programs in Newfoundland and Labrador.
About This Cause
Cancer Care Foundation (also known as the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation) is a registered charity established to raise funds to support the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre (in St. John's) and its affiliate cancer programs throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, including cancer centres in St. John's, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and Corner Brook and chemotherapy infusion sites across the province. All contributions to the Cancer Care Foundation remain in Newfoundland and Labrador and are used to: •purchase cancer treatment equipment and comfort items such as blanket warmers. •enhance regional programs close to the patient's home; •support local education and research projects; •fund supportive programs for cancer patients. Significant advances have been made over the past ten years for the care of cancer patients in Newfoundland and Labrador. However, cancer screening programs and an aging population will result in increased incidence rates and will place additional pressure on existing resources. It is estimated that 1 in 2 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime.
