At CHEO we are all Partners in Health. We’re a partnership of children, youth, families, staff, physicians and volunteers, working together and listening to each other, all with the goal of making care better.
That means we value working together on everything, from care at the bedside to decisions made in the boardroom. In the care setting, we know that families know their children and youth know themselves. We rely on you telling us what you need and what you want from CHEO, so that the improvements we make together are truly meaningful for you and your family.
Below you will find a variety of ways you can share your voice and get involved.
