This week, we welcomed students from Woburn Collegiate Institute for another session of our Working Together for Better Health program!

In recognition of , students learned about SHN’s Regional Nephrology Program and gained a deeper understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dialysis treatment. The visit also included a tour of the Hemodialysis Unit, where students learned about the wide range of careers involved in kidney care at SHN—including pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals who support patients at every stage of their journey.

Thank you to our incredible SHN nephrology team for taking the time to share their expertise with these future healthcare professionals.

Maureen spends three nights a week receiving overnight dialysis at our General Hospital, supported by the care team in our Regional Nephrology Program. Her experience helped inform research led by SHN nephrologist Dr. Tabo Sikaneta, which uncovered important gaps in kidney disease screening and showed that some immigrant groups face a significantly higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

Stories like Maureen’s highlight how compassionate care, combined with leading research, is helping SHN better understand kidney disease and improve how it’s detected and treated for the diverse communities we serve.

Today is .

Delirium is a serious and often sudden change in thinking that can affect patients during illness or hospitalization. It impacts patients, families, and caregivers - and awareness matters.

At SHN, we’re working to reduce the impact of delirium through early identification, prevention strategies, and team‑based care across our hospitals.

Thanks to our teams who set up information booths at each of our three hospitals today to get the word out about delirium awareness, treatment, and the hard work SHN is doing to combat this affliction.

By recognizing delirium early, we can support safer care and better outcomes for our patients and families. 💙

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.
