MDS In The Community

The fundamental objective of the Corporate Citizenship program at MDS is to make a distinctive contribution to the health and well-being of people around the world. We do this by supporting initiatives – both financially and through direct involvement of employee volunteers who donate their time – globally, nationally and locally.

MDS Nordion raised almost $70,000 for the Cancer Care Unit at The Ottawa Hospital with its “2008 Run for a Reason” campaign – where employees walked, ran and volunteered in various capacities at the annual MDS Nordion-sponsored Ottawa Race Weekend. As well, MDS Nordion President Steve West was named head of The Ottawa Hospital's 20/20 Campaign.
