The Scarborough Hospital Foundation believes that Strong Communities Build Strong Hospitals, and judging by their success the past few years it's clear the people of Scarborough are mighty indeed.
Since 2009, more than 22,000 people have made donations to the hospital totalling more than $10.3 million. That's a 25 per cent increase in revenue growth over the past three years.
Through the outstanding generosity of our community, staff, volunteers and physicians, and the hard work of the Foundation, our patients have benefitted from:
* An MRI machine
* 3 CT Scanners
* 1 SPECT CT Scanner
* 23 Hemodialysis Machines
* 16 Patient Monitors
* 40 Beds
