Scarborough is asking Toronto to share the love in relation to hospital donations.
In a new marketing campaign that launched this month, the Scarborough Well being Community (SHN) Basis says their amenities obtain lower than one per cent of hospital donations in Toronto—despite the fact that it represents about 25 per cent of town’s inhabitants.

And we see that within the growing old infrastructure, and simply within the lack of areas to broaden,” Dr. Collette Rutherford, Company Chief and Medical Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at SHN, advised CP24 Friday morning.
“These donations are completely vital by way of upgrades, expansions, new programming, and so we’re reaching out to Toronto, as a as a bigger group, to assist us and to help us in elevating this $100 million to higher serve and proceed to offer glorious care to the folks of Scarborough.”
The marketing campaign, named “Love, Scarborough,” asks “when will all of us be handled equally,” declaring that the majority various neighborhoods are probably the most ignored in relation to healthcare.
Rutherford says that greater than half of the a million individuals who stay within the space are newcomers to Canada and about 75 per cent of the inhabitants are seen minorities. And but, these newcomers are being handled within the oldest hospitals.
After reviewing monetary information revealed to the Canadian Income Company, the SHN discovered that hospital foundations within the Metropolis of Toronto acquired donations of about $1 billion. Officers mentioned the SHN basis’s share, nonetheless, was lower than one per cent of that.
The mass media advertising marketing campaign “Love, Scarborough” hopes to alter that. In 26 letters—one for each letter of the alphabet—group leaders, sufferers, medical doctors, workers and volunteers discuss what the SHN means to them and why they select to name Scarborough dwelling.
The marketing campaign has been broadly supported by numerous companions, together with Bell Media, and politicians like Toronto Mayor John Tory, who final week raised the SHN Basis’s flag and declared “Love, Scarborough Day.”
