The Heather Cutler Foundation is a Canadian non-profit founded in memory of Heather Cutler, a devoted nurse from Newfoundland who faced pancreatic cancer. Her journey exposed critical gaps in cancer care, inspiring the foundation's mission to advocate for equitable access to somatic testing, clinical trials, and advanced cancer treatments. The foundation aims to raise awareness, provide educational resources, and empower patients and their families through self-advocacy.
In addition to its advocacy work, the foundation is driving a national petition to urge the government to reform cancer care policies, streamline drug approvals, and ensure consistent treatment standards across Canada.
