Urinary incontinence and overactive bladder are very common, especially in women; and while pelvic floor exercise or medication often helps them, there are hundreds of British Columbians for whom these standard therapies bring little to no relief. An alternative is urgently needed.
For over 30 years, the urology specialists at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and the Vancouver Prostate Centre (VPC) have garnered national and international recognition. From their seminal research discoveries in both lab and clinical setting, as well as their outstanding delivery of complex care – particularly in the area of prostate cancer – they are treating people from all walks of life and with any kind of urologic condition.
“We want to build on our original successes and make the same transformative contributions to other areas of urology for women, men and children across BC,” says Dr. Martin Gleave, Head, Department of Urologic Sciences and Executive Director, VPC. “To accomplish this, we need support from philanthropy to help us recruit and retain the best clinicians and scientist to BC to deliver subspecialty care and translate discoveries to benefit BC and beyond.”
