Online donation page for The ACTION Centre Integrative Oncology Program

Set to open in 2024, the Calgary Cancer Centre will have Canada’s first-of-its-kind Integrative Oncology program.
Integrative oncology (IO) is a patient-centred, evidence-informed field of cancer care that utilizes mind and body practices, natural products and/or lifestyle modifications from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments.
IO aims to optimize health, quality of life and clinical outcomes across the cancer care continuum. It empowers people to prevent cancer and become active participants before, during and beyond treatment.
The research division of the IO program will be led by award-winning researcher Dr. Linda Carlson, PhD, and it will be the hub for clinical integrative oncology research activities in Alberta.
Your support will go towards advancing these IO priorities:
- The Clinical Trials Unit
- Training in Research and Clinical Trials in Integrative Oncology (TRACTION) Program
- In-house Complementary Therapy Programs
- Integrative Oncology Clinic
- Integrative Oncology Health-Care Provider Education
Donations from individuals or corporations are eligible for a tax receipt, per CRA guidelines.
Thank you very much for your support! If you have any questions, please contact:
