Today is . We’re standing with every child and family facing a cancer diagnosis – and with the care teams who walk beside them, every step of the way.

At SHN, that support includes our Paediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) Satellite Clinic at Centenary Hospital, where children can receive specialized cancer care closer to home – right here in Scarborough.

Families coming to our POGO clinic can access treatments and services like chemotherapy, blood work and transfusions, vital‑sign monitoring, medication administration, and diagnostic imaging, delivered by a dedicated team that includes a Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse, Social Worker, and Child Life Specialists.

Why awareness matters: about 1,400 children in Canada are diagnosed with cancer each year, and around 360 of those diagnoses are in the GTA. Research and coordinated care have helped nearly 80% of children survive – but childhood cancer remains the leading cause of disease‑related death in children.
