Celebrating a 43-year legacy of cancer care, research, and treatment in Alberta

When it opened 43 years ago today, the Tom Baker Cancer Centre (TBCC) was the premier destination for cancer care in Calgary and southern Alberta.
Caring and compassionate like its namesake, Tom Baker, an advocate for cancer research and treatment, the facility was a state-of-the-art centre for prevention, research, and treatment programs.
Since 1981, it has become internationally renowned, drawing medical professionals to the city for oncology research and treatment. That legacy, along with the Holy Cross Centre, has been passed to the new Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre, which is set to begin welcoming patients and staff on October 28.
