Help us raise the last $1 million to open the upgraded Oncology Centre at Penticton Regional Hospital.

Every day, families in the South Okanagan Similkameen face the heartbreaking challenge of cancer. For many, accessing life-saving treatment means travelling away from home.

We have made a promise to change this reality.

We have already raised $9 million thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, but we urgently need your help to secure the final $1 million.

Your donation will help us complete the Oncology Centre upgrade at Penticton Regional Hospital, ensuring that our community receives care right where they live. Together, we can provide a sanctuary of hope and healing for those battling cancer, allowing them to stay close to their families during their most vulnerable moments.

We are just $1 million away from finishing this vital project.

Every dollar you donate brings us closer to providing a state-of-the-art Oncology Centre, enhanced support services, and a welcoming environment for patients and their families.

Your donation will help us transform cancer care right here at home.

Donations will help the SOS Medical Foundation fulfil its commitment to create a new Oncology Centre that will provide:

  • Double the nursing staff: Increasing from 3 to 7 funded nurses to better serve patients.
  • Expand treatment bays: Growing from 7 to 11, ensuring shorter wait times and improved comfort.
  • Enhanced facilities: Increasing from 1 bathroom to 8 bathrooms for patients and families.
  • Support for mental health: Space for social workers, phone-based nurse support, and for caregivers to stay with loved ones during their appointments.
  • State-of-the-art equipment: New equipment to deliver advanced treatments.
  • Infection prevention and control: Improved measures to ensure safety for all patients.
