Provincially, we provide services to around 10,000 patients annually and our radiation oncology services account for 2,400 patients annually. Our goal is to deliver safe, person-centric care; we value teamwork and encourage colleagues to work together. Our vision is a healthy population free from cancer, and our more than 900 dedicated employees work hard every day towards this vision.

Our partnerships with other departments in the agency enhance patient safety, maximize the unique skills of pharmacy professionals and are a continuous source of education." Michelle Deschamps
