CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE
We are building on the advanced Birthing Centres and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) we have at our Centenary and General hospitals to create leading programs that are focused on best practices.
STANDARDIZED CARE
Through our Centres of Excellence, we will be able to make sure that all families get the same level of exceptional care when they come to our health network to have their babies.
CARE IN SCARBOROUGH
We want to provide the very best, high-quality services so that families are able to access the specialized care they need right here at SHN — without having to leave our Scarborough community.
NETWORK OF EXPERTS
We are bringing together the expertise in maternal and newborn care that we already have at SHN — and with our Centres of Excellence, will attract more leading specialists to offer services in Scarborough.
Thank you for choosing to deliver your baby at Scarborough Health Network (SHN). We look forward to providing you with an outstanding care and delivery experience.
Our Birthing Centres are nationally recognized for providing culturally sensitive, respectful, and responsive care that meets our patients’ unique needs.
We are also home to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) at our Centenary and General hospitals. Our NICUs are able to look after newborns as premature as 30 weeks.
