Trillium Health Partners is the first hospital to receive donated artwork from AWFC. ArtWorks for Cancer Foundation was founded by one of Trillium Health Partners’ physician, Dr. Michael Weinberg, who along with AWFC team members created partnerships linking hospitals with artwork donors.

Each of the members of the AWFC team have been touched by cancer and want to transform clinical oncology areas in hospitals across the province of Ontario into warm, hopeful, healing spaces for patients and their families.

Some of the AWFC members donated from their own collections. The additional donors are made up of artists, dealers, estates, corporations and dealers who wish to improve the space cancer patients spend their time in. Each of the pieces were carefully selected with input from patients through THP’s cancer program’s Patient and Family Advisory Council.
