CIBC brings brightens holidays for young cancer patients

Families celebrated with their children at Rouge Valley Centenary as Santa and his helpers brought many smiles to the faces of children in hospital on Dec. 16.

Many families and their children, who are patients in the paediatric oncology program, came for a party at Rouge Valley Centenary’s third-floor conference room.

“This party is for our young patients, their parents and siblings, to enjoy some time together as a family with people going through similar experiences,” says Michele Jordan, vice president, women's and children's program, quality improvement and transformation

Arts, crafts, games and a visit from their Rouge Valley Health System care providers were part of the fun, plus a visit from Santa, naturally. See all of the pictures here.

The CIBC brought toys for the children and made a $25,000 donation to the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation. If you would like to support children's programs at the hospital, please contact the Foundation at 416-281-7342 or foundation@rougevalley.ca.
