No one should have to wait unnecessarily for results of medical tests. Not you, not your family, your friends or your neighbours.

Here at Grand River Hospital, medical scopes often allow for test results to be known the same day, within hours in fact. Simply put, a quicker diagnosis means treatment can begin sooner. Ultimately, these scopes give peace of mind to our patients.

Colonoscopes are flexible instruments used to view the entire length of a person's colon, designed to detect potentially cancerous polyps and remove them on the spot. While just 40 years ago colon cancer was a silent killer often found too late, medical scopes are making a dramatic difference for people in our region and saving lives.

Nearly 30 colonoscopies are performed at our facility every day. Your gift today will ensure colonoscopes and other medical scopes here are kept as up to date and functional as possible. In the process, you'll help to keep your community healthy.
