Adding to a lifetime of philanthropy, the Centre for Mental Health and Addiction (CAMH) was pleased to announce today a $15 million gift from the Garron family that will help revolutionize mental health research through brain imaging.

CAMH is home to one of the only imaging labs worldwide focusing solely on mental health research. The state-of-the-art imaging facilities enable researchers to probe the brain to better understand brain health and to advance mental health treatments. While CAMH scientists have already made great progress in areas such as finding links between inflammation and depression and identifying new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, the Garron family’s donation will help accelerate this important work.

In recognition of the Garron’s visionary support, a medical imaging suite for positron emission tomography (PET) at CAMH will be named the “Garron Family PET Imaging Suite,” and the Intergenerational Wellness Building located at 80 Workman Way will be re-named the “Garron Family Building.”
