Working together to deliver the best health care for every patient, every time.

West Coast General Hospital Foundation has wrapped up the Detect Cancer Quick Campaign with the purchase of a new Mammotome for the Operating Room at West Coast General Hospital. This device will allow for earlier detection of cancers in all patients, thus resulting in improved outcomes.  “The support from our community over the last year has been extraordinary,” says Executive Director Erin Williams. “Every donation has an impact and helps WCGH provide the best patient care possible for people who live, work and play in the Alberni Valley.”

The Foundation is now fundraising for a new MOLLI medical device: a made-in-Canada solution to improve the breast cancer treatment experience for patients and health care providers at WCGH!  MOLLI is a medical device that implants a tiny tissue marker to mark where a tumor is in the breast for the surgeon. It is designed to help surgeons remove lesions more efficiently and increase patient comfort.
