First Published:

Juravinski Hospital and cancer centre says it can’t handle all the patients that need stem cell transplants and it needs to expand. The hospital is a leader in the field and one of only three in the province to offer the life-saving procedure. Expansion plans are in the works, but the hospital needs three and a half million dollars in donations to fill the rooms with specialized equipment.

Lisa Hepfner has the final installment in our series on the evolution of stem cell transplants.
