Our Creed is what we believe
T
here was a time, not long ago, when
cancer was a death sentence. And
the treatment was dreaded almost as
much as the disease. We’ve seen that
change in our lifetime, at The Princess
Margaret.
We’ve seen the entire process of cancer
care forever altered. We’ve seen radical
mastectomies become lumpectomies.
We’ve seen the precision of image guided
therapies spare more healthy tissue.
We’ve seen undreamed-of advances at
the cellular level and revolutionary work
in healing beyond the body.
All in our lifetime.
All at The Princess Margaret.
We see the things we do, give hope to
millions, one person at a time. We’ve
transformed a provincial cancer hospital
into one of the world’s top five cancer
research centres. As a proud partner of
the University Health Network, we’ve
grown our people into the thousands.
We see leading researchers, from all over
the world, leave their homes to come
here. Because this is where they believe
the fight will be finished. In our lifetime.
Yes, we are still losing people to cancer.
But more and more, we are controlling
the cancer, instead of cancer controlling
us. We now know that every cancer is
as individual as the patient. So we’re
developing personalized care that
delivers the right treatment to the right
patient at the right time. This is the future
of cancer medicine, and we are on the
forefront of that progress, today.
It may seem like we’ll be fighting this
fight forever. But we won’t. Because we’re
closing in. We have the momentum. We
have the talent. And we have the passion.
This is the front line. We are Canada’s
cancer warriors. But we can’t do it alone.
The world needs to hear The Princess
Margaret message. So share it at every
opportunity with anyone who will listen.
It’s a simple message, really. But it’s a
message of incredible power: we are
conquering cancer at Canada’s cancer
research centre, The Princess Margaret.
In our lifetime.
