BEYOND THE SCAN
TRANSFORMING IMAGING TOGETHER
2X YOUR IMPACT
From now until April 30, 2025, your donation goes TWICE as far! The FDC Foundation is matching all gifts to the Beyond the Scan Campaign, dollar for dollar, up to $2,000,000.
Our diagnostics bring care closer to home. Your support brings it to life.
This is your chance to help bring Kenora’s first-ever MRI, a new CT Scanner, and advanced mammography to our community. Together, we can ensure that where you live doesn’t determine the care you receive.
Our Campaign Priorities
Support the Beyond the Scan Campaign to bring a fully operational Diagnostic Imaging Centre of Excellence to our Hospital. Your donation will fund the latest imaging equipment including:
Kenora’s first-ever MRI: Essential for creating detailed 3D images of organs, tissues, and bones, it’s critical for diagnosing conditions like cancer, brain disorders, and soft tissue damage.
A state-of-the-art Mammography Unit: With this replacement, mammography capabilities are upgraded to include tomography, contrast-enhanced imaging and stereotactic biopsies.
A new CT Scanner: Replacing a nearly 10-year-old machine, the new scanner will offer improved safety, faster results, and superior image quality.
The Excellence Fund: Supports priority medical equipment needs and healthcare advancements throughout the entire hospital, ensuring enhanced patient care close to home.
Campaign goal $8.5M

Why It Matters
State-of-the-Art Equipment: This campaign funds the first MRI in Kenora, a new CT scanner, and a mammography unit with advanced features like stereotactic biopsies and contrast-enhanced imaging.
Community Impact: Each year, thousands of patients rely on our hospital for diagnostic imaging services. By upgrading our equipment, we can reduce wait times and eliminate the need for travel to distant facilities.
Local Funding, Local Benefit: While the government is covering operational and construction costs for the MRI suite, it’s up to our community to fund the medical equipment that makes it functional.
Timeline: We aim to complete funding by [specific date] to ensure the MRI Suite and imaging upgrades are operational in Fall 2025. Your support today makes this possible!
