Sudbury, ON – Health Sciences North (HSN) Foundation is grateful for a generous $2.25 million gift from Mississauga-based FDC Foundation to successfully complete the $7 million Unlock the Potential fundraising campaign to purchase a new 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) model and upgrade the existing MRI scanner at HSN. Reaching this exciting milestone in the campaign means that patients across Northeastern Ontario can soon look forward to shorter wait times for high quality MRI scans and faster diagnosis.

SUDBURY, ON – A couple from Whitefish is donating $1-million to help buy life-saving equipment and provide support that will help Health Sciences North treat COVID-19 patients and beyond.

The donation to the Health Sciences North Foundation is being made by Craig Fielding and Katriina Ruotsalo. Their generosity will help buy a new ECMO Machine (Portable Heart-Lung Support System) that provides critical respiratory care for some of the most acute patients in HSN’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In patients with severe pneumonia and the flu, this machine is used to pump blood around a patient’s body until their own heart and lungs are strong enough.

SUDBURY, ON – Health Sciences North Foundation (HSNF) is very pleased to announce that $130,761 was raised during this year’s HSNF Golf for MRI at the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club on July 11. Funds raised will support the purchase of new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners for Health Sciences North (HSN) and help ensure that patients have access to the most advanced medical imaging.

“We are very grateful to all of the HSNF Golf for MRI sponsors, donors and participants who contributed to another successful tournament. Their generous support makes a difference in the lives of people living in Northeastern Ontario who need an MRI,” said Dan Gray, HSNF Board Chair.

On April 6, 2016, my life as I knew it changed completely.

I’m Bill Crumplin and the picture that I am holding above is of my late wife, Donna Williams, who passed away on that April day.

Our journey began in November of the year before, and it wasn’t until after months of tests and biopsies that Donna received a diagnosis. You see, Donna lived with a cardiac disease that could have been detected earlier had she had access to a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Donna was scheduled to travel to Ottawa for such a scan, but was not healthy enough to make the trip. During her time in hospital, Donna pledged to raise the funds needed to support the purchase of the latest MRI for Health Sciences North to help others like her in our community.
Donna received her diagnosis on March 24, 2016. Sadly, Donna died just days later.
I am championing the fight to have the newest and most advanced imaging equipment available, right here at Health Sciences North. Perhaps you or someone you know have experienced wait times, had to endure biopsies or other tests necessary for a diagnosis, or had to travel to another community for an MRI. 

In Donna’s memory, friends and family have taken on her quest and established the Donna Williams MRI Fund at Health Sciences North Foundation. Please join us in helping to raise the $6.1 Million needed to purchase two new MRIs that will provide superior scans, significantly shorten wait times, reduce the travel burden and costs for patients, improve diagnostics and treatment, and offer cardiac MRIs closer to home.
Every dollar raised will remain in our community to support this vital purchase.
