Oakwood is a cosy three bedroom home at CPRI that provides overnight accommodation free of charge for visiting parents. This home aways from home has proven valuable in facilitating family visits and participation in treatment programs.
Because children and their families travel to CPRI from throughout Southwestern Ontario for specialized treatment, the distance is sometimes a financial hardship for the families we serve - particularly considering current gas prices.
We regularly receive requests from various CPRI clinical programs for financial assistance to purchase specialized diagnostic, treatment or personal care equipment.
As a tertiary centre, CPRI treats the most difficult-to-serve population and the CPRI Medical Library is in constant use by clinicians to research state-of-the-art treatment.
Over 3,000 children and youth visit CPRI every year. And many of their families are looking for accurate, accessible resources so that they can be fully informed and provide the best care possible.
