OUR CAUSE
Diane and Irving Kipnes Urology Centre & KAYE EDMONTON CLINIC
Celebrating its opening in late 2012, The Kaye Edmonton Clinic supports the emphasis on putting patients at the center of care at the University Hospital site by consolidating specialized outpatient clinical care, including the creation of the Diane and Irving Kipnes Urology Centre. The Kipnes Urology Centre was create to provide quicker and more comprehensive care to men needing tests or treatment for prostate cancer; as one in seven Albertan men will be diagnosed with prostate disease or prostate cancer in their lifetime.
At full capacity, the Kaye Edmonton Clinic consolidates 80 outpatient clinics under one roof and provide ambulatory services to more than one million patients every year, including thousands from across western and northern Canada. Unique to Alberta, this nine-storey, 670,000 square foot facility brings multi-disciplinary teams of specialists together under one roof including surgical, medical, family and seniors’ clinics, as well as orthopedic and neurosciences clinics.
The Kaye Edmonton Clinic will allow rural Albertans to stay in their communities while keeping them connected, via new technologies, to the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment. In addition, this tremendous new out-patient facility enhances the partnership between Alberta Health Services and the University of Alberta by strategically aligning state-of-the-art technology, education and research.
