TSHF About Us

Change text size: A A A

Each year, The Scarborough Hospital upgrades equipment due to wear and tear, technological improvements and new, innovative ways to diagnose, treat and care for patients. The Government of Ontario pays for the operations of hospitals, like utilities and salaries, but 100 percent of equipment is paid for by donations made to hospital foundations.

In the next year, The Scarborough Hospital Foundation will raise $3.65 million for urgently needed medical equipment.

The Scarborough Hospital Foundation is a registered charity and was established in 1999 following the amalgamation of The Scarborough General Hospital and The Scarborough Grace Hospital (now the Birchmount campus). Governed by a volunteer board of respected business professionals from the community, The Scarborough Hospital Foundation supports the Birchmount campus, the General campus and The Scarborough Hospital’s seven satellite sites.

The Foundation is fortunate and grateful to have the generous support from many patients, family members, staff, physicians, volunteers, community members and corporations. The Scarborough Hospital Foundation can be reached by phone, mail or in-person. Hours of operation are: Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

TSHF President’s Message

Top

This is an incredible time to be part of The Scarborough Hospital and I’m very excited about where this hospital is heading. Over the next five years, the Foundation will strengthen and build new community partnerships, host exciting new events and support the hospital’s vision of being recognized as Canada’s leader in providing the best healthcare for a global community.

As we build these partnerships, we will aim to grow our fundraising. The hospital has an incredible team of doctors, nurses and support staff, and the Foundation wants to ensure they have the tools they need to best care for the residents of Scarborough.

This year we will continue to fundraise for many items on the urgently needed equipment list including two new CT Scanners. This essential piece of equipment is used by almost every department in the hospital and our current machines are dated and need to be replaced.

I invite you to take a look at our fundraising programs, read about our healthcare team and watch the videos about our patients and the care they have received at The Scarborough Hospital. I hope you will be encouraged to support the hospital.

For more information about the Foundation or to set up an appointment with me or a member of the Foundation team, please call 416.431.8130 or email foundation@tsh.to.

Sincerely,

Michael Mazza, CFRE
