OVERVIEW

About Scarborough Health Network Foundation:

Scarborough Health Network Foundation is a one-star charity with an average results reporting grade and overhead spending outside Ci's reasonable range. As with most hospital foundations, the charity is financially transparent and has high funding reserves.

Founded in 1977, Scarborough Health Network Foundation (SHNF) is a charity that raises money for Scarborough Health Network. Scarborough Health Network (SHN) includes three hospitals (Scarborough General, Birchmount, and Centenary) and eight satellite sites. SHN has the largest nephrology program in North America. The hospital partners with University of Toronto and other universities to train aspiring health care workers. The foundation wants to help SHN become the leading community teaching health network in Canada by funding the purchase of new medical technology and infrastructure. In F2022, SHNF granted $313k to the hospital and other organizations.

In F2021, the foundation bought a fluorescence imaging machine for treating patients with lymphedema. It also launched a joint research project with the University Health Network to improve care for nephrology patients. As part of its covid-19 relief program, SHNF donated over 401,000 pieces of personal protective equipment to medical workers during the year, including 27,541 N95 masks and 35,694 pairs of gloves.
