Mississauga, ON – March 6, 2025 – Trillium Health Partners (THP) is proud to have been selected as the Community Partner at the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open, which will take place on August 18 – 24 at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club. Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) is generously matching donations up to $250,000 in support of THP’s cardiac program equipment needs.
From today until 12 a.m. on August 21st, the community will be able to donate in support of cardiac care at THP. The total amount raised will be completely matched by CPKC up to $250,000 – meaning that the community’s donations will be doubled, making each donation twice as impactful. Thanks to CPKC’s generosity, together there is the opportunity to raise a total of $500,000 for life-saving cardiac care.
The funds raised will go towards the purchase of the highest priority equipment needs of THP’s cardiac program, helping to transform patient care by enabling things like:
- Improving patient outcomes: Real-time blood clotting analysis helps reduce the risk of complications during and after heart surgery.
- Enhancing patient safety: Advanced monitoring during cardiac surgery to help determine a patient’s blood flow and vessel functioning in real time, lowering the chance of complications.
- Enabling rapid diagnosis in emergencies: Immediate bedside imaging allows doctors to quickly diagnose and treat cardiac issues during emergencies.
- Providing accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring: High-quality heart imaging helps doctors to more accurately diagnose patients and to monitor their cardiac conditions over time.
“We are deeply grateful to CPKC for their generous commitment to match every community donation up to $250,000 in support of our cardiac program. This contribution will not only help us acquire critical, state-of-the-art equipment but will directly enhance the care we provide to our patients,” says Caroline Riseboro, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners Foundation (THPF). “Their partnership amplifies the impact of our community’s support, ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest standard of care to those who need it most.”
“We are excited to work with Trillium Health Partners and Trillium Health Partners Foundation to support the life-changing and life-saving care they provide to families in Mississauga, West Toronto and surrounding growing Ontario communities,” said Chad Becker, CPKC Chief of Staff. “As this year’s CPKC Women’s Open community partner, Trillium Health Partners will be able to purchase critical medical devices, such as a new echo machine, that will enhance patient care.”
Today, THP is proud to be one of the most innovative and high-volume cardiac programs in the province and as the only regional cardiac centre between Toronto and Hamilton, ambulances routinely bypass local hospitals to bring patients with heart attacks and other complex cardiac conditions directly to the network’s Mississauga Hospital site for life-saving care. The hospital also remains Ontario’s leader in fastest treatment time and with over 1,500 surgeries and 3,800 catheterization lab procedures a year, the sheer volume, complexity and range of heart issues at THP continues to attract top surgeons and physicians, who achieve results equal to Toronto’s academic hospitals. This calibre of talent is the reason THP is also one of the only centres in Canada that is able to perform complex procedures like chronic total occlusion recanalization to open 100% blocked cardiac arteries.
