If you are ready to help yourself—and help others, too—then NISA may be the right place for you.

Northern Cancer Foundation

The Sudbury branch of RBC Wealth Management donated $1000 to Miles Against Cancer. When the acute treatment ends, the journey is far from over for the children and their families.  Ongoing complications, constant worry, follow-up visits to Sick Kids and CHEO can all place significant burdens on those impacted by childhood cancers.  We hope to raise awareness of the prevalence of paediatric cancers in Northeastern Ontario and support the children and families impacted by them through local research and patient care programs.

There is office space for health care providers and administrative staff, as well as a dining room and common living area for residents and family members. The building is fully accessible and includes the requisite technology, equipment, and supplies to provide quality 24/7 palliative care.
