Until 1946, cancer pa- tients throughout North- ern Ontario had to travel south for diagnosis and treatment of their dis- ease. Sometimes, these patients had to spend up to 24 hours riding trains to arrive at one of the hospitals in the south capable of dealing with their cancers. In De- cember of 1946, this began to change when the Foundation opened the Ontario Cancer Foundation Thunder Bay Clinic, as a diag- nostic and follow-up cli- nic and a registry for all cancer in the immediate vicinity of Port Arthur and Fort William. The new clinic was responsible for the larg- est area in the province, extending from Horne- payne in the east to Red Lake, Pickle Crow and Central Patricia in the north, to the Manitoba boundary with Rainy River, Kenora and Fort Francis as well as the new towns of Marathon, Terrace Bay and Red Rock. The new clinic with sub-clinics in each of the "'twin" cities still could not handle certain types of cancers and those pa- tients were transferred, under a new arrange- ment, to the Toronto General Hospital. The Foundation provided transportation to patients who could not afford it. In 1947, the Founda- tion rented space in the new wing of the Port. Arthur General Hospital to contain its diagnostic and follow-up clinic and a new radio-therapy cen- tre for the Lakehead. This new treatment ce- ntre went into opera- tion in April 1948. In its first two years of oper- ation, the Thunder Bay Clinic registered 564 cases of cancer from its catchment area _ of 120,000 people. Of these, the clinic pro- vided advice, diagnoses and treatment for 352 patients. In 1952, the Founda- tion's Advisory Medi- cal Board recom- mended that each of the clinics be provided with cobalt-60 therapy units. This Canadian-develop- ed device for producing radiation energy, soon became the basic in- strument for radio- therapy of cancer throughout the world. Senator Norman M. Paterson offered to buy one of these "cobalt bombs" for the Thunder Bay Clinic. At that time, one of these devices cost about. $47,000. En- couraged by this dona- tion, the Foundation set out to install similar units in its clinics in Hamilton, Kingston, Ot- tawa., and Windsor, Early 11 in 1954, the Thun- der Bay. Clinic moved into a new wing of the General Hospital in Port Arthur, which had spe- cial facilities for the cobalt-60 therapy unit. In 1972, after a long wait, a new hostel - "'Amethyst House" was opened. This hostel, which was built near the Port Arthur General Hospital, offered living accommodation to all patients, who live more than 25 miles from Thunder Bay to or those who require nursing care. In 1977, a new clinic building was completed for the Thunder Bay Clinic at the Port Arthur General Hospital. Despite its growth, the Thunder Bay Clinic, like the other regional treatment centres, has had dramatic increases in patient load and has experienced the short- ages which accompany increased demands. : Nevertheless, the . Thunder Bay Clinic has been able to offer, con- sistently, a level of ser- vice to cancer pa- tients equal to that in the south, except in certain highly speciali-- zed area. CRIB 5 pieces.
