CancerCare Manitoba

What CancerCare Manitoba does

CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB) is the designated provincial cancer agency for Manitoba, Canada, established in 2000 and operating as a non-profit government entity under provincial authority. The organization delivers the full continuum of cancer and blood disorder care — including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, surgery, blood and marrow transplant, and palliative care — alongside province-wide screening programs (BreastCheck, CervixCheck, ColonCheck), clinical trials, and psychosocial patient and family support services. Services are delivered free of charge to patients with valid Manitoba Health coverage through a distributed network comprising four main Winnipeg hospital sites (McDermot, St. Boniface/O Block, Grace Hospital, Victoria/Buhler), the Western Manitoba Cancer Centre in Brandon, seven Regional Cancer Programs, eight Community Cancer Programs, and a teleoncology network over MBTelehealth.

The technology stack includes the MyCare Noona patient-facing mobile and web application for symptom tracking, messaging, and lab results, and the recently deployed GrayOS care orchestration platform from Gray Oncology Solutions, which uses optimization algorithms and scheduling automation for systemic therapy — with AI-powered features under co-development supported by Scale AI. Research is anchored by the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute in partnership with the University of Manitoba (unveiled 2015), a Medical Physics department offering residency and graduate programs, a Clinical Trials Unit managing approximately 120 open trials and 300 new patient enrolments annually, and the Manitoba Cancer Registry for epidemiological data. A new Winnipeg cancer facility estimated at up to $1 billion is under construction management oversight.

CCMB's revenue model is structurally dual: a single-payer provincial government funding stream covers core clinical operations, while the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation — the exclusive charitable fundraising arm — has granted more than $236 million since 2000 to support strategic priorities, research, and patient outcomes. The patient base spans the entire Manitoba population requiring cancer or blood disorder care, including dedicated programs for rural and northern residents, Indigenous peoples (with Indigenous Nurse Navigation and First Nations community profiles), and adolescent and young adult patients. Partnerships span Canadian Cancer Society, Shared Health Manitoba, Breast Health Centre, all five Regional Health Authorities, and PCL Constructors Canada for capital projects.

Broad incumbents

• Juravinski Cancer Centre: Regional cancer centre in Hamilton, Ontario operated by Hamilton Health Sciences, serving the central-south Ontario region. Comparable specialty cancer hospital but embedded within a broader hospital system rather than acting as a standalone provincial agency.
• Tom Baker Cancer Centre: Major cancer treatment and research facility in Calgary operated by Alberta Health Services. Comparable as a Canadian specialty cancer hospital offering chemotherapy, radiation, and clinical trials within a multi-site provincial network.
• Princess Margaret Cancer Centre: One of the largest comprehensive cancer centres globally, affiliated with University Health Network and University of Toronto. Comparable as a Canadian academic oncology hub but operates within a broader hospital network rather than as a standalone provincial agency.

Direct peers

Comparable as a large Canadian provincial cancer delivery network with hospital-integrated oncology services.
• Nova Scotia Health Authority Cancer Care Program: Provincial cancer care program within Nova Scotia Health Authority delivering systemic therapy, radiation, and surgical oncology across the province. Comparable as a Canadian publicly-funded cancer delivery organization with regional site network.
