Russell Mustachi remembers the long wait times in the emergency department at The Scarborough Hospital. But during his last few visits the long-time Scarborough resident says he has seen a dramatic improvement in both wait times and overall quality of care.
"They were pretty quick in seeing us in the emerg," says Russell, who arrived at the hospital's Birchmount campus with his 86-year-old mother.
He knows the hospital has been working hard to make improvements, and in an email, he commended its exemplary service.

 The Scarborough Hospital Foundation is celebrating the wrap-up of its $5 million "Look Inside Yourself" MRI campaign. The campaign to raise $1.4 million from the Scarborough community launched last January. The Foundation had already raised $3.6 million through staff, physicians, volunteers and donors. The celebration falls just before the start of Chinese New Year, and will feature a martial arts demonstration from Wayland Li Martial Arts Centre and music from violinist Holly Cheng. "The celebration is a wonderful opportunity to thank those who generously gave to help support improved patient care in Scarborough," says Michael Mazza, President of The Scarborough Hospital Foundation. "That we are able to celebrate achieving our goal a year after launching the campaign shows how valued The Scarborough Hospital is to our community." |
