For Graham Gathercole, research meant time he never expected to have.
After a life-limiting cancer diagnosis, Graham received immunotherapy treatment - a breakthrough made possible through decades of medical research.
Today, he’s spending precious time with loved ones thanks to the care he received at Canberra Hospital and the research that helped shape modern cancer treatment.
“Without research, I wouldn’t be here,” Graham said.
From cancer care and emergency medicine to dementia rehabilitation, intensive care recovery and palliative care, your support helps fund research changing lives locally - now and into the future.
Because every breakthrough begins with hope - and people willing to invest in it.
Research changes what’s possible for patients.
It helps clinicians:
- diagnose illness earlier
- deliver more personalised treatment
- improve recovery and quality of life
- develop better technologies and therapies
- bring innovative care closer to home
The treatments saving lives today once began as research questions.
With community support, Canberra Hospitals Foundation helps turn research into real-world care for local patients.
Your support helps fund research and innovation across Canberra’s healthcare system, including:
- cancer research and clinical trials
- emergency medicine research through REACH
- dementia rehabilitation programs
- intensive care recovery research
- innovative technologies improving patient care and recovery
Together, we can help shape the future of healthcare locally.
