Mission Statement
Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) works to ensure that everyone affected by childhood cancer has access to the best care and support. We partner to achieve an excellent childhood cancer care system for children, youth, survivors, and their families and healthcare teams, in Ontario and beyond. POGO champions childhood cancer care, and as the collective voice of this community, is the official advisor to Ontario's Ministry of Health on children's cancer control and treatment. POGO is a non-profit organization with charitable status, here for kids with cancer, for now, for life.
About This Cause
POGO has been the official advisor to the Ministry of Health on childhood cancer care and control since 1995, and has accountability for system planning across Ontario. POGO works in partnership to ensure expertise across multiple disciplines and creates real change through data driven solutions. POGO ensures access to high quality, coordinated care and support. POGO Satellite Clinics bring patient care closer to home in communities across Ontario. POGO Interlink Nurses provide excellent nursing support to young cancer patients. The POGO Financial Assistance Program provides much needed financial support to families with a child in cancer treatment.
