  • 🦾✨ Setting a new standard in care! The Prosthetics and Orthotics department at Hamilton Health Sciences—the largest of its kind in Canada—is the first public health care facility in the country to use advanced 3D printing at this scale for prosthetics and orthotics. From superhero-inspired orthotics for kids to life-changing custom solutions for all ages, patients now benefit from expanded choice, comfort, and creativity. The future is hands-on, one layer at a time. None of this would be possible without the visionary generosity of Hamilton and District Senior Citizens’ Home RAMBYNAS Inc.

  • From the Chief of Diagnostic Imaging, Dr. John Donnellan, and everyone else here at @hamiltonhealthsciences, thank you @mandybujold and the rest of the team at @champsforcharitykw for raising funds to help purchase a new Alpha CT Scanner at @mcmasterchildrenshospital. Alpha CT scanners are the gold standard for pediatric patient care. The $3 million campaign at McMaster Children’s Hospital will make it one of the first hospitals in Canada to upgrade to this transformative technology.

Every supporter, participant, and donor is helping to make this milestone possible. Donations can be made at champsforcharity.ca #MacKids #KidsHealth #McMasterChildrensHospital #KW #KitchenerWaterloo
