Love, Scarborough: SHN Foundation's campaign for local health care
Our urologists care for patients at Scarborough Health Network (SHN). SHN Foundation raises money for SHN's hospitals, and its biggest campaign is called Love, Scarborough.
Why it matters
More than 850,000 people rely on SHN for their care. The Foundation says the need keeps growing. For example, its emergency departments see about 220,000 visits a year, in spaces built for half that number.
What the campaign supports
According to SHN Foundation, the money goes to:
- Cancer care, including a new cancer care centre at SHN's General hospital, planned for 2027
- Heart care, with new spaces and technology for the regional cardiac centre
- Emergency care, with larger emergency departments and faster care
- New hospital buildings, including the redevelopment of Birchmount hospital and a new patient tower
- Mental health, research and education, and kidney and diabetes care
Say thank you to someone who cared for you
Through the Foundation's With Gratitude program, you can thank a doctor, nurse or caregiver at SHN with a gift in their honour. They receive a message of thanks from you.
You can learn more about the campaign on the SHN Foundation website.
