You can fund the tools that help patients today
Everything our donors helped us achieve last year is already benefitting many people – maybe even someone you love. But, a new year has begun, and we’re counting on your support as we strive to purchase the vital new equipment on our list.
Your gift today will help fund…
Used for intubation, this scope makes it possible for healthcare providers to visualize the airway and vocal cords as they insert a tracheal tube.
This portable ultrasound is helpful for clinical assessments and procedures performed right at the patient’s bedside.
Used to measure bone loss and identify patients at high risk of fracture, the new scanner will replace our current unit installed in 2012.
Caring for our community

The FOCUS Clinic at OTMH is changing the way cancer patients receive urgent care. Opened in March 2025, the clinic offers same-day support for treatment-related symptoms, helping patients avoid Emergency visits and get care from a team that understands their needs.
Thanks to donor support, this dedicated space delivers faster, safer, more compassionate care — right when needed most.
OTMH is now offering a new cancer treatment called T-cell engaging antibodies, an advanced form of immunotherapy that helps the body target and destroy cancer cells. This treatment offers new hope for patients with myeloma, lymphoma, and lung cancer, especially when other options haven’t worked.
Thanks to donor support through The Big C campaign, the equipment and systems that support this complex care, including lab and pharmacy tools, are in place at OTMH.
Getting a kidney transplant usually involves weeks of tests, referrals, and travel. OTMH’s One-Day Workup finishes everything in one visit.
Inspired by Director of Nephrology Gail Burns’s experience guiding her son Brandon through a transplant from his brother Hunter, OTMH became the first hospital to offer this same-day pathway. Donor-funded lab and diagnostic tools power every step, turning one family’s challenge into a province-wide breakthrough. Discover how your support makes it possible.
Ontario Health honoured Halton Healthcare with a Quality & Innovation Award for the Restore-Me Clinic at OTMH.
Restore-Me is Ontario’s first hospital-based program offering physician-funded 3-D nipple-areola tattooing, a vital finishing step in breast reconstruction. Donor support lets OTMH deliver this service on-site, removing private fees and long travel. Survivors gain confidence, dignity, and closure, and referrals keep rising. Restore-Me is making post-cancer care more accessible and deeply compassionate.
Young adults 18-25 face big mental health and life-transition challenges, worsened by COVID. With donor support, OTMH created the TAY Program, bridging the gap between youth and adult services.
Outreach counsellors meet participants on campus, in coffee shops, and in the community; they provide one-on-one guidance, goal-setting, and life-skills training such as résumé writing. Already, more than 30 youth have regained confidence and re-engaged in school, work, and volunteering.
When COVID-19 left more than half of OTMH’s Emergency Department nursing positions vacant, donors stepped up. Their support launched the Emergency Department Nurse Clinical Mentor Program, pairing seasoned nurses with new recruits for on-the-job coaching. Vacancy rates have plunged from 50% to under 5%, nurse retention has soared to 85%, and patients benefit from safer, faster care. Investing in people is building a stronger, more resilient hospital.
