When Mike Leach was diagnosed with a serious diabetic ulcer, his surgeon delivered a stark warning, “Without surgery, you could lose your foot.” Suddenly, Mike was facing not one, but two urgent, lifesaving surgeries at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC).
Two separate procedures. Two recoveries. Twice the stress and risk.
Mike shares his powerful story in our latest video. He knows there’s a better way forward for patients like him and it starts with bringing a donor-funded hybrid operating room to PRHC.
Currently, complex vascular conditions like Mike’s often require multiple surgeries performed on different days at PRHC. Each procedure carries its own risks, recovery period, and emotional toll. A hybrid OR would change all of that.
But here’s the challenge: hospital technology like this isn’t covered by government funding. That’s where donor support makes all the difference. With your help, we can bring this innovative surgical suite to PRHC, helping provide safer, faster care for thousands of people in our region who depend on it.
Watch Mike’s story and learn how you can help bring this cutting-edge surgical suite to your regional hospital.
