It's Our Time Campaign

The people of Niagara face significantly greater risks and challenges in getting the kind of healthcare they need and deserve.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Mental illness can strike regardless of family history or social standing. A heart attack alters a life forever. Kidney disease can lead to reliance on dialysis to sustain life.

Few people in Niagara are untouched by these four prevalent chronic diseases. Conditions like cancer, mental illness, kidney and heart disease have no geographic boundaries. Neither should we in doing what we can to fight back and provide the healthcare our families, friends and neighbours need and deserve.

Together we can change the painful and difficult reality caused by these leading chronic diseases. We have a bright and promising vision to improve the future of healthcare for Niagara. It’s a vision in which the 434,000 people living in communities across the peninsula can get the care they need without having to bear the burden of travelling for hours to Hamilton, Toronto or beyond for services they should receive here, at home in Niagara.

It’s a vision that will enable us to keep the health-care professionals we have and attract more doctors and nurses to this region by offering them state-of-the-art facilities and equipment so that they can deliver the highest standard of care.

It’s our time to reach out. It’s our time to make life better. It’s our time to care. It’s our time to help.

Through the It’s Our Time health-care campaign fundraising we will raise $40 million to fund hospital equipment and facility needs for cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and mental treatment to service the people of Niagara.
