Cancer care in the Central East Regional Cancer Program is delivered
through a network of service providers that includes a regional cancer
centre, public health units, a community care access centre, and
hospitals that have partnership agreements with Cancer Care Ontario.
Under these agreements, Cancer Care Ontario provides funding to the
hospitals based on volume and ability to meet quality standards for
services such as cancer surgery and colonoscopy, and programs such as
the Ontario Breast Screening Program and the New Drug Funding Program,
created to ensure equal access to cancer drugs in Ontario.
The following is a list of service providers in Central East that
have partnership agreements with Cancer Care Ontario. Please note that
many other hospitals and care providers in Central East provide cancer
services not funded by Cancer Care Ontario.
