| The Prostate Cancer Institute Fundraising Committee was formed in 2002 with the specific task of raising sufficient funds or goods/services in kind to establish a fully functional centre of excellence in the treatment of prostate cancer.
The project involves the expansion of the Cancer Care Centre, relocation of offices up stairs at the centre, the building of a bunker and associated rooms to house the brachytherapy equipment, and the revamping of the clinic rooms to make better utilisation for treatment.
The project also involves the construction of a new facility in the Pitney building, adjacent to the Cancer Care Centre to provide a clinical trials facility.
In addition to the Prostate Cancer Institute, the Cancer Care Centre is such an integral part of providing support and assistance for all cancer patients.
The first stage of the four stages of the Prostate Cancer Institute was completed in January 2009 and the brachytherapy bunker and facilities is expected to be completed by June 2010. You can view the plans under the Current Project Plans section of this website. |
