Kids These Days
Kids these days are facing a lot. Because the world has changed, and so have their health issues. We’re seeing and diagnosing more depression, more suicidal ideation, more diabetes, more eating disorders, more rare diseases, more neurodevelopmental disorders, more respiratory diseases, and more complex medical needs, to name a few. Kids these days need our help—and yours—more than ever.
That’s why CHEO is reimagining health care for kids today and tomorrow. And CHEO Foundation needs partners like you to make a real impact. Join our biggest fundraising campaign ever to transform pediatric care.
Mental Health
Help us address the mental health crisis so kids have access to the support they desperately need.
Complex Care

Surgery

Times have changed for kids’ health and it’s increasingly clear that how we care for children needs to change, too. As the leading pediatric centre in Canada’s capital, serving over half a million patients a year from as far north as Nunavut, CHEO has seen these changes first-hand and knows what needs to be done to help address them.
Since the moment the hospital opened its doors in 1974, CHEO has led the charge in improving the lives of children and youth. Today, we embark on our most transformational journey yet to build and adapt so we can deploy more innovation, programs and services that meet the growing needs of kids today and tomorrow. Whether we are building better spaces or leveraging the power of data and artificial intelligence to solve persistent health care issues, we do so with a single goal in mind: helping children and youth live their best lives.
Over the next 10 years, CHEO will remodel, reimagine, and build to adapt to the changing needs of children today and tomorrow. This is our most ambitious plan ever. To make this possible, the CHEO Foundation is launching a $220 million fundraising campaign. Join us—because kids these days could really use your help.
