Toronto, ON (October 24, 2024) – Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, part of University Health Network in Toronto, has partnered with McKesson Canada to implement best practices for the delivery of high-quality care to cancer patients who receive treatment in the organization’s network of community infusion clinics.
As part of their cancer journey, some oncology patients use independent, community-based infusion clinics, which can offer a wider variety of treatment options for patients and provide access to leading edge medicines. This partnership will benefit patients and ensure they receive the same level of seamless, high-quality care at McKesson Canada’s INVIVA clinics as they do at Princess Margaret.
To date, formal relationships between community infusion clinics and cancer centres have been limited. Before launching the partnership, Princess Margaret conducted a comprehensive inspection of McKesson Canada’s oncology services, which are accredited by Accreditation Canada, including its infusion clinics and pharmacy at its central Toronto location. With the partnership now in place, Princess Margaret and McKesson Canada look forward to working together to align quality standards.
