TSH is MY Scarborough Hospital!


Greetings!


Our Home Dialysis and Chronic Kidney Disease programs are moving! On February 24 2012, the Home Dialysis and Chronic Kidney Disease programs will move from their current location in the General campus Medical Mall to the First Floor of the East Wing. This new location is off Lawrence Avenue East, beside the Ambulance Entrance at the front of the hospital. The more spacious location will allow us to better serve the growing needs of our diverse community. For more information, visit our website.
