Welcome

Niagara Health Foundation invites you to join our annual Celebration of Lights to celebrate recovery, support healing and honour someone special. When you make a donation to the Celebration of Lights, every dollar raised stays right here in Niagara and goes towards urgently needed equipment at our local hospitals.

When you make a gift of $50 or more, you can add the name of a loved one to a paper light bulb or our virtual tree to cheer them on in their recovery or to celebrate their memory.

    It is estimated that about one in eight Canadian women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, so early detection is crucial. When breast cancer is found and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better. Screening tests, like mammography, help find breast cancer before any symptoms develop. This procedure x-rays the breast and is a common and reliable way to detect breast cancer early. Niagara Health performs thousands of mammograms every year, and Niagara Health Foundation is proud to share that aging mammography equipment was recently replaced with new, state-of-the-art devices, thanks to the generosity of community donors.
