Starting January 12, 2026, our Emergency Departments will offer a new text message update service for patients 📱

While you’re in the ED, you can receive non-clinical updates by text, such as:
📍 When registration is complete
📍 When you’re called for triage or reassessment
📍 When a new order or lab result is ready
📍 When it’s time to return to the ED area after tests

You will be able to sign up during self check-in at the kiosk by asking an ED care team member during triage or registration. Patients can choose to receive messages themselves or add a support person, like a family member or caregiver, to get updates on their behalf.

SHN continues to strengthen its leadership in ground-breaking clinical research with physicians like Dr. Kevin Kuo, VP of Research and Innovation, who is now leading an international clinical trial focused on improving outcomes for people living with sickle cell disease.

This landmark study is recruiting participants from around the world to assess the safety of an oral medication that may help address anemia and fatigue caused by SCD. SHN is one of three hospital sites in Canada to offer this trial, and the first in Ontario, further positioning us as leaders in sickle cell care.

On this National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we remember the 14 young women whose lives were taken in the 1989 École Polytechnique tragedy, an act of gender-based violence.

Their memory calls us to stand together, speak out, and take action to end violence against women in all its forms. At SHN, we remain committed to providing compassionate support, care, and resources to those who need them most.

Shaping the future of care

At Scarborough Health Network, caring for you and your family is not just our job, it is our privilege.

Working with our many community and government partners, patients, staff, physicians, volunteers, and donors, Scarborough Health Network (SHN) is transforming patient care and outcomes today, and charting a new course to create a healthier tomorrow.

Across our three hospitals and eight satellite sites, our programs and services are designed around the needs of one of Canada’s most vibrant and diverse communities. We offer full-service emergency departments, diagnostic, surgery, rehabilitation, and geriatric care, as well as advanced birthing centres for moms, newborns, and growing families. We are leaders and partners in specialty paediatric, mental health, and oncology services.

Our care also goes well beyond our borders. We have North America’s largest nephrology program and regional community-based cardiovascular rehabilitation service. In addition, we are the Central East LHIN designated cardiac centre and centre for spine surgery.
