Fax number update for oncology referrals to new Calgary Cancer Centre

All Tom Baker Cancer Centre and Holy Cross Centre cancer services transitioned to the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre on October 28, so please update fax referral and automatic dialing lists to the new number below immediately.

And please discontinue sending fax referrals to the Tom Baker and Holy Cross cancer centres.

Note: If faxes continue to be sent to Tom Baker and Holy Cross, they will be automatically rerouted to Arthur Child for six months. During that time AHS will remind senders to update the fax number before the rerouting expires in May 2025.

After the six-month period, if senders have not updated their contact information, they will receive an error message.

New Arthur Child referral fax number: 587-231-3580
