Help Support the Next Generation of Health Care Professionals
Since 1958, The Michener Institute has been educating health care practitioners who work in some of the most complex areas of health care. This includes:
- Cardiovascular perfusionists who help keep patients alive during open heart surgeries
- Respiratory therapists who ventilate COVID patients and premature infants when their lungs fail
- Chiropodists who are reducing the rates of diabetes-caused lower limb, foot and toe amputations
- Genetic technologists and medical laboratory technologists who help diagnose cancers and other diseases
- Radiation therapists who provide radiation treatment to cancer patients
As the only college in Canada focused solely on these and other applied health professions, Michener attracts Canada’s most promising and caring students. The vast majority of our students have at least one post-secondary degree, and often carry significant student debt. Many are also supporting their families and trying to work while completing their studies.
Please consider giving the Gift of Education this year … 100% of your gift will be added to Michener’s Scholarship and Bursary fund to be awarded to students with a demonstrated financial need, so they can take their place in the health care system and be there for you when you need them.
