The Lift

In our series, , we connect with healthcare teams at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network and hear how they are caring for themselves and for each other. Here is a unique way one team lifts themselves up by extending their compassion beyond the hospital walls. They adapted this initiative, originally based on 24gooddeeds.ca, to make it secular.

"During the holidays, we get a charity calendar called 24 Good Deeds. Daily at each huddle, we open one of the doors and behind is a donation to a different charity. It helps support organizations that are doing fantastic work around the world, and raises awareness among all of us. It helps us feel that as a team, we’re making a difference.” - Radiation Therapist

Each week, we bring you awe-inspiring moments from nature. Take time to breathe in their beauty.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Throwback to the fantastic costumes that radiation therapists Iris Wong, Amanda Moreira, Winnie Li and Jennifer Dang sported last year at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network. Winnie Li is embodying the perfect ‘2020 Snow Globe!’ - sanitary wipes, toilet paper, social distancing, and Netflix... this costume had it all! ✨

Here’s to the healthcare workers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, whose care goes beyond taking vitals and administering medications. Dressing up for Halloween, among other small actions, warms up the hospital environment and makes a world difference to our patients and families.
