Support Cancer Care at SHN

More than 68,000 cancer care visits take place at Scarborough Health Network each year, and demand continues to rise.

Our teams provide chemotherapy and other critical cancer treatments across two aging clinics that no longer offer the space, privacy or comfort patients deserve.

With donor support, SHN is building the new Northpine Cancer Care Centre. This modern and welcoming space will bring cancer treatment together in one location at Scarborough General Hospital and allow our teams to improve patient flow through the centre, creating efficiencies to better accommodate current and future growth.

Imagine what we could do with more.

Our cancer care teams never let limited space stand in the way of exceptional care. But with patient volumes rising, they need a modern environment to accommodate current and future growth in a warm and welcoming centre that reflects the excellence of our healthcare professionals.
