The Canada Post disruption and pending strike will affect the funds raised by TSH Foundation for urgently needed medical and surgical equipment. The Foundation's spring mail appeal would have generated approximately $60,000 - enough to purchase a new defibrillator to save people having a heart attack or a new incubator for sick babies. Please help us reach our goal. Visit the website to make a secure online donation, drop your donation at the cashier's office at either hospital campus or call 416.431.8130 to give today. You can help the hospital stay Equipped to Care! Your donations don't just purchase equipment for every department of the Birchmount and General campuses of The Scarborough Hospital, they help our healthcare team save lives. > MORE |
