Garvan St Vincent’s Campus Cancer Centre
October 22nd 2008 10:13
A brand new Cancer Research Centre is to be built in Darlinghurst, in the research and biotechnology precinct that has rapidly become the largest biomedical hub in NSW. Delta Goodrem, a former St Vincents cancer patient, is the Patron of the new Centre, and intends to dig deep and donate her own money to ensure the establishment of this much needed facility, slated for completion in 2010. Goodrem underwent treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital five years ago, and is now in remission.
The Centre will focus on personalised medicine and be a one-stop shop for cancer patients who can receive various treatments, as well as participate in trials and research. The land for the facility, worth $10 million, has been donated by the St Vincent's Hospital Trust, while $20 million has already been raised from private donations. But with much more dollars required for this $100 million state-of-the-art facility, a series of fundraising events are planned and funding will also be sought from the NSW and federal governments.
Donations can be made on 1800 800 595 or at www.garvan.org.au
