Bet on SHN

If you have been following along with Network News, you already know 2024 was a record year for SHN. Among our many achievements, we hit the ground running with our brand new Strategic Plan 2024-2029, opened a brand new Community Mental Health Centre, began operating with our new Velys surgical robot at Birchmount Hospital, installed our state-of-the-art Siemens 3-Tesla (3T) MRI machine, and now we are readying our General Hospital to open the new Northpine Diagnostic Imaging Department in early 2025. In fact, SHN Foundation granted the largest amount of funds in our history to bring several projects to life, in 2024!

You can already count on us to be there for you and your loved ones when you need it most—and now we are asking our community to Bet On Us, to help us reach our fundraising goal this Giving Tuesday.

Inspired by Toronto’s very own Drake—who has an unfortunate habit of betting on the wrong sports teams—we are asking people to bet on a sure thing: our Scarborough hospitals.

Visit BetOnUs.ca to place your “wager”: bet on the number of babies born across SHN on Giving Tuesday, December 3; the number of surgeries performed that day; or, whether Drake will take notice and finally end his losing streak!

By betting on SHN, where delivering exceptional quality care is always our Number 1 goal, we are all betting on a sure thing. Every “bet” is a donation to our Scarborough hospitals, and whether you are right or wrong, it’s a win-win. You’re supporting equitable healthcare, and our hospitals get the critical funds they need to expand, innovate, and continue caring for Scarborough.
