Golfers and supporters gathered for the fifth annual Power of Hope Golf Tournament on August 25 and raised an incredible $176,530 in support of prostate cancer care at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC). 

This brings the tournament’s five-year total to more than $740,000, with the money supporting KHSC’s surgical robotics program which provides  cutting edge, minimally invasive procedures using small incisions (compared to traditional surgery) which lead to shorter hospital stays, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal activities.

Breast cancer screening, imaging, and care across southeastern Ontario is getting a major boost with the appointment of Dr. Doris Jabs as the Rose of Hope Clinical Chair in Breast Health at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC).

The announcement comes just weeks after the 27th annual Rose of Hope Golf Tournament raised an incredible $285,000 — the first installment of the tournament committee’s five-year, $1 million pledge to establish this new leadership role.

The Carman family is turning a devastating loss into something positive and hopeful. 

In 2021, Declyn Carman was born with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), a congenital heart defect where there are holes between the heart's chambers and the valves don't form correctly. 

Declyn was a joyful baby who defied odds from the beginning. Despite many medical appointments and hospital stays, the family was optimistic Declyn would recover. Surgery was scheduled to repair the holes in his heart.  

A groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool used to diagnose coronary artery disease on CT scans is about to transform cardiac care at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC)—and it’s all thanks to the generosity of local donor Stephen Sorensen.

Mr. Sorensen’s philanthropic gift of $100,000 is funding the launch of Heartflow, a revolutionary AI-based technology that allows radiologists and cardiologists to measure how the blood flows through a patient’s coronary arteries, using only a non-invasive CT scan.

The 27th annual Rose of Hope Golf Tournament brought together purpose, passion and pink as about 150 golfers gathered at Cataraqui Golf and Country Club on July 29 for a remarkable day in support of women’s health. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors, participants and sponsors, an incredible $285,000 was raised toward the establishment of the Rose of Hope Clinical Chair in Breast Health at Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC).

The 2025 Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign raised a record-breaking $230,108 in support of child and youth mental health programs at KHSC.

Science Rendezvous, held at Kingston’s Slush Puppie Place on May 10, drew thousands of curious minds—and among the bustling crowd was the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) booth showcasing the diverse worlds of science, art and mental health.

This August, Megan Wheatley will lace up her hiking boots, take a deep breath and begin a life-affirming trek up Mount Kilimanjaro—the highest mountain in Africa. 

For Megan, the climb isn’t just about reaching the 19,341-foot summit. It’s a symbolic journey—a way to honour how far she’s come since surviving a traumatic brain injury at the age of 17. It’s also a powerful fundraiser in support of Community Brain Injury Services (CBIS) at Providence Care.

This year's prostate cancer research fund recipient is Dr. John Allingham.
