By lessening the need for interventions like dialysis and transplants, we can combat the often devastating physical, emotional, and economic impacts of Kidney Disease. With your help, we can positively affect the future of Kidney Health in Saskatchewan, improving lives and keeping families together.
SASKATOON CITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
It starts here. For many City Hospital patients, their journey starts with medical imaging: in 2023-2024 more than 15,000 people had CT scans at Saskatoon City Hospital. CT is x-ray that spins, taking 3D images. For many patients and conditions, it’s the best way to diagnose illness and determine treatments. The CT helps diagnose cancer, monitors cancer treatments, spots diabetes-related blood vessel disorders, and shows blood flow in patients who’ve had a stroke. After many years of hard work, the CT is nearing end-of-life. A new CT is essential to avoid cancelling procedures. While assuring prompt access to imaging, the new CT will take clearer pictures faster with less exposure. This means more safety and comfort for patients, while providing the most accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.
ROYAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
Every year, hundreds of patients with life-threatening arrhythmias, caused by abnormal electrical signals in the heart that make it race too fast or too slow, receive life-saving treatments in the Electrophysiology (EP) Lab at Royal University Hospital. A sudden or continual “short” in the heart’s electrical impulse can be life threatening or severely affect one’s quality of life. As the number of patients requiring pacemakers, defibrillators, or catheter ablation procedures increases, so too does the need to upgrade the EP Lab that opened in 2012. Proceeds will be used to purchase new state-of-the-art equipment for the EP Lab that will reduce wait times for current procedures, enhance the ability to map abnormal electrical circuits in the heart, and introduce new treatment options for patients at RUH.
