Chemotherapy Expansion
The Health Foundation was pleased to host a tour for major donors who contributed to the expansion of the Chemo and Infusion Unit at Yorkton Regional Hospital.
Elyse, a Registered Nurse in the unit, expressed heartfelt gratitude to donors for their generous support of this important initiative. She shared how much both staff and patients appreciate the new space, which allows for improved patient care, greater comfort, and a more efficient workflow.
The Chemo and Infusion Unit provides a full range of cancer treatments, including immunotherapies, chemotherapy and infusion treatments, as well as infusion therapies for individuals living with conditions such as Crohn’s Disease, Colitis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, blood disorders, and severe infections.
The Health Foundation extends sincere thanks to all donors for making this expansion possible and for helping enhance the quality of care for patients in our community.
Ophthalmology Services Coming Back to Yorkton
Wonderful News!
We are pleased to announce the return of Ophthalmology Services to Yorkton!
Thanks to the dedication and support of The Health Foundation, Dr. Askari has successfully established his ophthalmology practice right here in Yorkton. In August, he performed the first eye surgery in seven years at the Yorkton Regional Hospital — a huge milestone for local healthcare!
The Health Foundation is proud to partner in sharing the cost of specialized equipment that will allow Dr. Askari to operate at full scale. Once fully operational, this service will provide 1,000 to 1,100 cataract surgeries each year, meaning no more long waits or travel for patients seeking care.
We thank our donors whose generosity made this possible. Your support continues to bring essential healthcare services back home to Yorkton.
