Supporting Children's Health Foundation

Provide the best possible care.

Best Care. Most Hope. Across our Region.

A second home – that’s how many patients and their families refer to Children’s Hospital in London, Ontario. Through their health care journeys, they come to know it as a place that they can trust and feel safe in during the most difficult times in their lives. As kids continue to face medical emergencies, cancer, chronic illness and other life-threatening health issues during uncertain times, Children’s stands by them with leading-edge care.

Donations to Children's Health Foundation will support child and youth mental health at Children's Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre. Mental health needs for our children and youth have increased - funding for mental health care is just as important as ever!

  • Did you know: Children's Hospital had about 15,000 child and youth mental health visits last year?
  • Children's Hospital has seen a large increase in referrals for outpatient mental health services

Support will ensure access to critical mental health resources for youth facing anxiety, depression, or trauma – especially now when stress is at an all-time high.
