Pioneering procedures in a new Interventional Radiology Suite at Southlake
Rapid advances in imaging technology have allowed medicine to move to procedures that are increasingly minimally invasive - using cameras, needles and catheters, instead of scalpels and surgical knives – reducing risk of infection, recovery time and hospital stays. If minimally-invasive procedures are the way of the future, then Interventional Radiology, with its advanced imaging capability, is the way to make it happen.
That’s why we are excited about the promise offered by the planned Interventional Radiology Suite at Southlake which will, no doubt, shape the future of cardiac and cancer care at Southlake, and what’s most important, improve patient care.
And with the help of our community, we can make it happen.

Building the Regional Cancer ProgramRight now, as you read these words, 10 York Region residents are reeling from the news they received today – a diagnosis of cancer.
And every day, 10 more York Region residents receive that news.
Take a moment to imagine the impact. And imagine the added burden of trying to determine how they will manage their lives – home, work, children, family – as they face months of daily and weekly medical appointments, some far from home. These are our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues, and our family members, and we are sure you join us in wishing that you could make their journey easier.
You can, and we hope that you will. READ MORE
Cardiac Care: Creating a Centre of ExcellenceSince launching the Regional Cardiac Care Program in 2003, Southlake has worked tirelessly to build a team of exceptional healthcare professionals who have established and maintained the highest level of advanced cardiac services. In less than 7 years, Southlake has emerged as a full-scale, state-of-the-art facility that is the 3rd busiest regional cardiac program in Ontario with a well-earned reputation for pioneering procedures. Southlake’s Regional Cardiac Care Program is one of the top centres for treating arrhythmias or irregular heart rates and became the first program worldwide in 2007 to introduce a new, groundbreaking technology to treat patients suffering with life threatening arrhythmias. Since April 2008, the Cardiac Care Program has had the capability to perform minimally-invasive laser lead extractions on patients requiring their leads to be removed from the heart due to infection or other risk issues, one of only a few hospitals in Ontario to do so. More recently, in July of 2008, Southlake became the first Hospital in Canada to implant a wireless defibrillator.
But there is more to be done.
