We are very proud to announce that Dr. DJ Cook, Neurosurgeon in our Department of Surgery has been awarded a $40,000 research grant from the UHKF's Women's Giving Circle.
Dr Cook and a team at Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Providence Care, and Queen’s University are working in partnership with a Kingston medical device company to test the capabilities of a hand-held scanner to rapidly detect bleeding in the brain. The portable, radiation-free device helps doctors more quickly detect the presence and severity of bleeding, ensuring patients receive care more quickly.
Since its inception in 2013 the Women’s Giving Circle group has granted more than $200,000 to support local research in areas such as critical care/end of life, mental health, chronic pain, musculoskeletal disease and gastrointestinal disease.
