Critical new equipment has been purchased for Prince Rupert Regional Hospital through our support for the Rampage Fights Cancer initiative.

Matching community donations to the 2024-2025 campaign, the Prince Rupert Port Authority`s Community Investment Fund provided over $241,000 to acquire equipment that is crucial to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions connected to the urinary system and male reproductive organs.
