A new Centre for Complex Diabetes Care at The Scarborough Hospital will provide a 'one-stop shop' to patients living with complex diabetes.
Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, announced the new centre November 8 at The Scarborough Hospital. It is a project of the Central East Community Care Access Centre in partnership with Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Lakeridge Health and TSH.
"Diabetes is a disease that affects hundreds of thousands of Ontarians - and if left unmanaged, the complications can be serious. That's why our government is helping patients manage diabetes through the Ontario Diabetes Strategy and the high quality, comprehensive care offered by these new Centres for Complex Diabetes Care," she says

Cliff McDowell so appreciated the care he received at The Scarborough Hospital he felt compelled to send a handwritten thank you note.
The long-time Scarborough resident spent six days at the Birchmount campus in the spring and since he wasn't able to thank everyone before being discharged, he made sure to write a note when he returned home. He also made a financial gift to the Foundation to give back to the hospital.

The unit's score of 83 per cent, after back-to-back quarters of being below the provincial and GTA average, now exceeds both averages. Changing to a daily huddle from a once-a-week meeting that all staff attend, especially nurses who work so closely with the patients, is one of the reasons for the successful turnaround.
