Your impact
Research
Your generosity helps us to stay at the forefront of clinical research so we can deliver world-class care.
You enable our researchers to pursue medical breakthroughs
80% of research at Epworth happens thanks to philanthropic grants. It means world-class researchers can focus on solving pressing issues affecting our patients, with more than 250 research projects funded in priority areas such as cancer, cardiac care and obstetrics.
Why does research matter?
If there is a better way to treat and care for our patients, then Epworth wants to provide it.
Research is the key to life-saving breakthroughs. Testing new treatments, or investigating early detection methods, can change the course of serious diseases.
When research happens here, it also means Epworth patients can benefit from the latest medical advances. Just recently, Epworth became the first hospital in the world to implant a new male contraceptive at Epworth Freemasons, through the philanthropic E.J. Whitten Prostate Cancer Research Centre.
Epworth believes that the more we understand, the better we can care for our patients and thanks to our philanthropists, 80% of research is funded by philanthropic grants

On a mission to boost pancreatic cancer survival
The Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth is the only centre of its kind in Australia. It exists to improve the heartbreaking outcomes for pancreatic cancer. Less than 13% of people diagnosed in Australia survive 5 years.
Dr Caroline Le PhD leads the research program, and says it wouldn’t be possible without the EMF community.
“Philanthropy turned this big idea into a thriving specialist centre. Through our research program, we’re now able to provide patients with an additional form of radiotherapy they otherwise would not have access to.” - Dr Caroline Le PhD
