STRENGTHENING THE HEALTH AND PROSPERITY OF NORTHERN FAMILIES
Ontario Invests $2.2 Million Towards A Cancer And Cardiac Research Centre
THUNDER BAY — The Ontario government is strengthening the health care and prosperity of northerners by investing in a new Cancer and Cardiac Research Centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced today.
"All of us know family and friends receiving cancer or cardiac care, and we all know how important research is to bringing our loved ones back to full health," said Premier McGuinty. "This research will not only benefit northerners, but Ontarians and Canadians whose health care could depend on the answers this type of research will provide."
The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation will provide $2.2 million to make the former site of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Cancer Centre suitable for the new research facility.
The Cancer and Cardiac Research Centre is expected to house several different research initiatives that will be supported by local medical professionals, educational institutions and private sector partners.
"By bringing first class health care research to northern Ontario, we are strengthening the health and prosperity of hard working northerners and their families," said Premier McGuinty.
