Mid-Western Cancer Foundation

The aim of the Mid-Western Caner Foundation is to provide holistic care for patients with Cancer and support research in the Mid-West region. It is an objective of The Mid-Western Cancer Foundation to ensure that any donations made are managed and monitored in a transparent manner, and to ensure that resulting resources are invested appropriately and efficiently.

The Mid Western Cancer Centre in Limerick provides a full range of services to patients with cancer such as a dedicated inpatient Ward and a Haematology/Oncology Day Ward where patients attend for investigation, at diagnosis time and for treatment thereafter. We also have a Regional Specialist Breast Unit, Radiotherapy Centre & Palliative Care Services. Patients and their families can also avail of the Patient Information & Support Centre which provides patients and their families with up-to-date, research-based information on their cancer and their treatment by qualified and experienced staff. The Support Centre also provides Support Groups, Psychological Support and Complementary Therapies provided by volunteers in a quiet and peaceful environment.

These services are all critical to the people of the Mid West but need to be updated and expanded to accommodate the growing population and increasing number of patients with cancer in the region. The money raised by the Mid-Western Cancer Foundation is used to enhance the Cancer Centre facilities and to make sure that the best treatment, services and cutting edge technology is available to people with cancer in the Mid West.
