When Stephen Ngai's 92-year-old father suffered a serious fall, Stephen rushed him to the emergency department at The Scarborough Hospital's Birchmount campus.

"The nurse who first looked after my father was very professional and passionate about his well-being," says Stephen. "The doctor was great too, and immediately ordered my father a scan."

The Scarborough Hospital (TSH) is embarking upon a website redesign to better meet the needs of its online community. Our goal is to:   

    * Create an online platform to better inform and engage our community  

    * Meet accessibility standards  

    * Improve functionality  

    * Implement user-friendly navigation  

    * Better share the remarkable stories of our patients, staff, physicians
       and volunteers   

To ensure we develop a website that will best address the needs of our stakeholders, we ask you to complete the following survey. Feedback will be accepted until August 23.

A group of young Scarborough artists are not only showing healthy living through their art, but actually supporting local health care by donating a portion of the proceeds from their current art show to The Scarborough Hospital. 

The artists belong to a program called Healthy Living through Art (HLA), which fuses the arts with healthy lifestyle education and demonstrates that creative expression is an effective tool for learning, communicating, relationship-building and leading a healthy lifestyle.

"Our HLA projects provide education and foster creativity, teamwork and leadership," says Nessa Babli, Program Director. "It's a great platform and a fabulous opportunity to support young emerging local artists by allowing them to explore their talents. It's also a place of civic engagement for parents and youth."
