Join the York Regional Police and BE A HERO to support Southlake’s Paediatric Oncology Clinic. Southlake’s Paediatric Oncology Clinic provides vital care in partnership with Sick Kids Hospital and the Paediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO), close to home for thousands of young cancer patients in our communities. Since its inception in 2009, it is now the fastest growing POGO satellite clinic in Ontario. Our busy clinic sees approximately 1,300 annual patient visits a year. This growth would not have been possible without the strong support from our donors, patients, families and event organizers like York Regional Police, whose Be A Hero head shave has helped enable the program’s success.
Donations today, will help Southlake work toward expanding comprehensive paediatric oncology care. The expansion will see the clinic increase with patient visits by 20 percent, advance supportive care and broaden the scope of chemotherapy treatments.
Your support through the incredible efforts of the Be a Hero Head Shave enables Southlake to provide the same high-quality care offered at downtown hospitals much closer to home. As a result, kids can spend more time being kids instead of patients. Support like this makes a world of difference for families undergoing childhood cancer treatments. In short, community champions like you are helping keep families together.
