What’s Up With Kids These Days?
Canadians get the sense that children and youth have more health challenges than ever before. In fact, 4 out of 5 Canadians think that kids these days are facing more health issues than kids in the past. And they would be right. Over the past few decades, there’s been a dramatic increase in the number and complexity of pediatric health issues that kids are dealing with today.

The world has also changed. From social media’s impact to the disruption caused by a global pandemic, the struggles kids are facing are very different than they used to be.
As Canada’s capital continues to change, grow, and become more diverse, kids these days also need pediatric care that can evolve to serve what they need: accessible and innovative health care solutions when they need them most.
Over the next 10 years, CHEO will remodel, transform, and build to adapt to the growing and increasingly complex needs of children and youth. CHEO also has a strategic commitment to reduce to 50 percent the number of children waiting for services beyond what is clinically recommended. To do so, CHEO Foundation is launching a $220 million fundraising campaign to transform pediatric care. Join us—because kids these days could really use your help.
