ABOUT SCARBOROUGH HEALTH NETWORK

Scarborough Health Network was created through a merger of The Scarborough Hospital’s Birchmount and General hospitals and Rouge Valley Health System’s Centenary hospital in December 2016. Working with many community and government partners, patients, staff, physicians, volunteers, and donors, Scarborough Health Network (SHN) is transforming patient care and outcomes today and charting a new course to create a healthier tomorrow.

As the third largest community health network in Ontario, SHN programs and services are designed around the needs of one of Canada’s most vibrant and diverse communities.  Across the three hospitals and eight satellite sites, SHN employs some of our generation’s best physicians, nurses and medical professionals. These teams are delivering exceptional clinical expertise and techniques to treat Scarborough’s patients and families effectively, inclusively and with compassion.

SHN is home to Ontario’s largest nephrology program and operates the fourth largest maternal and newborn program in the province. We deliver North America’s largest regional community-based cardiovascular rehabilitation program and are the designated cardiac care and spine centre for Scarborough and surrounding communities to the east. SHN is also home to a state-of-the-art Eye Centre specializing in glaucoma and cataract surgeries, and currently operates the second-largest community-based mental health and addiction program in Ontario, with over 10,000 referrals to our outpatient programs each year.

SHN is a community-affiliated teaching site for the University of Toronto, and a partner with a number of other universities and colleges, helping to train the next generation of health care professionals.

In 2018, SHN created a new strategic plan to achieve its Vision of becoming Canada’s leading community teaching health network – transforming your health experience. The 2018-2023 Strategic Plan places a strong focus on teaching and research to provide the very best care, train the next generation of health care professionals, and foster a culture that celebrates our team’s ideas and creativity.

ABOUT SCARBOROUGH HEALTH NETWORK FOUNDATION

Scarborough Health Network Foundation inspires the support necessary to improve patients’ lives through exceptional care at Scarborough Health Network. The Foundation works with generous donors, volunteers, and community members to support the Scarborough Health Network’s vision to be Canada’s leading community teaching health network.  Currently raising $14M+ in cash and $18M+ in pledges annually, the Foundation is developing an ambitious plan to increase its presence in the hospital and the community and grow its base of support through its $100M major fundraising campaign.

Transformational Fundraising Campaign

The Foundation has embarked on an ambitious fundraising campaign dedicated to building the health care infrastructure that Scarborough needs and deserves.  The first phase of the multi-year campaign is focused on raising $100 million for four transformative initiatives:

With the recruitment of a Campaign Chair, Honorary Chairs, and a Campaign Cabinet, SHN Foundation has built a strong team that will engage not only the Scarborough community, but also downtown business leaders and prominent GTA philanthropists.  Working with the Campaign Chair and key partners, SHN Foundation is developing the creative approach and marketing positioning for the Campaign that will have a multiplier effect across Annual Giving and Community Development.

Mass Media Marketing Campaign

SHN Foundation is embarking on an exciting journey to raise the profile of the Scarborough hospitals. For the first time ever in SHN’s history, SHN Foundation is presenting a mass media marketing campaign that will launch in January 2022.

The marketing campaign will be an open letter to Toronto, shedding light on the health care challenges in Scarborough and encouraging people in Scarborough and across the GTA to “back us up” by donating. The campaign will feature 26 Scarborough community members, business leaders, SHN physicians, patients and donors, and their stories.

The marketing campaign will be featured on TV, outdoor signage, radio, at the movie theatres and online and will ask our neighbours to donate to Scarborough Health Network. The message will be amplified on the Foundation website and through social media and incorporated into SHN Foundation collateral and fundraising initiatives.

The marketing creative was developed through an in-kind partnership with a major ad agency and made possible through substantial media donations. Nothing like this has ever been done for SHN before and the Foundation is excited about its potential to raise the profile of SHN, communicate the impact of donations, and support the $100 million fundraising campaign as well as annual and community initiatives.
