This Holiday Season, Double your Impact with the MUHC’s Department of Medicine

This holiday season, the MUHC Foundation’s 28 Seconds. A World of Impact campaign is celebrating the impact of small gestures. It’s a reminder that only 28 seconds out of our busy day can create a world of change—because really, that’s all it takes.

It’s a lot more than just a donation—it’s an opportunity to be part of a transformational movement that fuels ideas, innovation, and saves lives. And there’s an exciting catch: your donation will be generously matched by the doctors of the MUHC’s Department of Medicine, ensuring your gift goes twice as far.

"Donations to the MUHC Foundation are essential for advancing health care," explains Dr. Marc Rodger, Chair of the MUHC’s Department of Medicine. "While government funding supports established programs, donations enable true innovation—from groundbreaking clinical trials to the latest medical equipment."

The MUHC’s Department of Medicine has launched donor-funded pilot programs to explore innovative treatments and build infrastructure that supports world-class, compassionate care. One of these programs identified ways to predict blood clots—a major cause of heart-related deaths. With over 3,000 patients enrolled, the program led to lifesaving guidelines and improved patient outcomes.

"These advancements are only possible because of donations from the community," shares Dr. Rodger.

This holiday season, when you donate to the MUHC Foundation’s 28 Seconds. A World of Impact campaign, you could help fund the next breakthrough in medical care or allow a patient to receive a new, innovative treatment they otherwise would not have had access to.

As the doctors themselves contribute to this campaign, they send a powerful message: they believe in the MUHC Foundation, and so should you.

"All of this is personal," Dr. Rodger reflected. "We all have family members touched by illness, and we want the best care for ourselves and our loved ones. Your donations to the MUHC Foundation ensure we can deliver that cutting-edge care."

Join the doctors of the MUHC’s Department of Medicine in creating a world of impact this holiday season. In just 28 seconds, your donation to the MUHC Foundation can help build the future of health care.
