Here—in one single place—you can keep a pulse on the latest that’s happening to advance children’s health care. You’ll see how fundraising dollars are being spent and learn about some of our most recent strides.
The country’s first 3D endoscopic system for high-precision head and neck surgeries at BC Children’s provides surgeons here with never-before-seen 3D views during procedures. With this technology, made possible through the support of Hollyburn Properties, these experts will now have a level of visual detail and clarity of the delicate parts of the body they’re operating on, as well as the entire surgical site, that they didn’t have before.
We are so grateful for the immense generosity of an anonymous donor’s recent gift of over $1 million that brought a new neuronavigational system to BC Children’s.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation announces the first pediatric 3D Technology Program of its kind in Western Canada, made possible through the support of the Ian & Ken McIntosh Families and Kirmac Cares for Kids.
The practice of using 3D technology to improve care isn’t entirely new to BC Children’s Hospital. Before the program, BC Children’s would partner with hospitals like SickKids in Toronto to commission 3D printed models for its patients. Carter Dieno is one of them.
Thanks to a transformative gift from Kirmac Collision & Autoglass and the McIntosh family, BC Children’s Hospital has Western Canada’s first pediatric 3D technology program. This technology will now be used to prepare for procedures in ways never before possible.
