Scarborough Health Network (SHN) is an integrated hospital network formed in 2016 through the consolidation of three hospitals - Scarborough General, Centenary, and Birchmount - along with several community-based sites. It serves more than 850,000 residents across Scarborough and the eastern Greater Toronto Area, providing acute and community care spanning emergency medicine, surgery, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, nephrology, and cardiology.
SHN holds two significant regional designations: it operates North America's largest nephrology program and serves as the designated cardiac centre for Scarborough and surrounding communities. Its workforce speaks more than 20 languages, reflecting the population it serves - one of Canada's most diverse communities - and the organisation has made health equity and the removal of barriers to care central to its operational approach.
On the capital side, SHN is actively pursuing two parallel initiatives: Love, Scarborough, a fundraising campaign to support the network's services and infrastructure, and Build It Forward, a redevelopment strategy aimed at bringing updated facilities and technology to its sites. Together, these programmes reflect SHN's stated direction toward expanding its capacity as a regional health system.
