Original Message:

Due to an external internet provider issue, some digital and phone services are currently unavailable across our hospitals and community-based locations. SHN is unable to receive incoming phone calls at this time.

Patient care continues safely. We remain open for business.

Our teams are actively working to resolve the issue, and we will provide updates as available. Thank you for your patience.

January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Too many people still don’t know where to turn for help. We’re here to talk openly and offer support.

On January 28, 2026, for Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, Alzheimer Societies across Canada are showing up with the Forget-Me-Not flower as a reminder to Forget No One - because no one should face dementia alone.

Supporters are invited to demonstrate solidarity on social media with the hashtag to send a simple but powerful message and combat stigma.

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.

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.
