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.

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.
