Why Donate

Why Give
Every dollar you give to Health Sciences North Foundation helps support patients from across our region who rely on care at Health Sciences North. Your gift helps change and save lives in northern Ontario.
By donating to Health Sciences North Foundation, you are supporting excellence in cancer care, priority equipment needs, cancer research in the North and much more.
You can designate your donation to a specific area or department, or you can help fund the highest priority needs of HSN.
Equipment and Technology
Up-to-date equipment is vital to offering excellent patient care. Unfortunately, government funding alone can’t meet all of HSN’s equipment needs. But with the help of friends like you, we can purchase essential equipment and continue to provide you and your loved ones with the best health care services possible – right here in the North.
Health Sciences North Research Institute (HSNRI)
Health Sciences North Foundation is proud to support the Health Sciences North Research Institute, HSN’s research organization. Through its research, HSNRI is committed to meeting the needs of patients and their hopes for earlier detection, prevention and more effective treatments and cures for significant health conditions affecting patients and their families in northern Ontario.
By supporting research today, you can save a life tomorrow.
