You can establish one of Canada’s most comprehensive Interventional Radiology (IR) programs and create a new standard for image-guided complex care in both our hospitals. Often described as precision medicine or tech medicine, IR is one of the fastest-growing and most transformative fields in modern healthcare.

Using advanced, real-time imaging, our Interventional Radiologists diagnose and treat disease from inside the body, guiding tiny instruments through millimetre-sized access points rather than large surgical incisions. Procedures that once required major surgery, lengthy recovery, and days in hospital can now often be performed as same-day, minimally invasive interventions—allowing patients to return home within hours, with little more than a bandage.

Victoria already delivers one of Canada’s most diverse and clinically advanced IR programs—one that consistently exceeds expectations in both capability and innovation. Your support in Phase III will provide the capacity and modern infrastructure this exceptional program needs to meet growing demand. By funding two new IR Suites, and modernizing our current two suites, you will double the Island’s capacity to deliver highly specialized, image-guided care. And by creating designated recovery spaces for IR patients, you will help to free up valuable in-patient beds for those who really need them, further decompressing our hospital system.
