CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB) is the provincially mandated cancer agency tasked with providing cancer services to the people of Manitoba. CCMB is responsible for providing care, treatment and support across the entire cancer service spectrum – from prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and care and palliation or end of life care.
CCMB has two tertiary locations in Winnipeg. Our main site is located on McDermot Avenue at the Health Sciences Centre campus and our second is located at the St. Boniface General Hospital. Through partnerships with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA), CCMB specialists work in concert with colleagues at six sites in Winnipeg, including the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program and Radiosurgery Program at the Health Sciences Centre.
Outside of Winnipeg, through partnerships with four regional health authorities, CCMB provides community-based cancer services through the Community Cancer Program (CCP) network at 16 locations across the province and cancer support services through a community resource centre in a 17th community, bringing care closer to home for those that live in rural Manitoba.
CancerCare Manitoba currently employs over 800 staff members, 48 physician specialists and has an annual operating budget of $102.2M.

I’ve had the opportunity to work in interesting areas and with populations that have very unique needs, alongside teams of people from nurses, surgeons, oncologists, dietitians, and social workers.
