About the POGO Clinic
The NEO Kids and Family Program at Health Sciences North is proud to be a satellite site for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) allowing care close to home. The POGO Satellite Program is a networked, shared-care system based on a partnership between Ontario’s tertiary hospitals (hospitals with childhood cancer programs such as CHEO, SickKids, London Health Sciences, Hamiton Health Sciences) and Satellite Clinics.
POGO champions childhood cancer care by providing programs and services for children with cancer and their families, from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship.
The tertiary hospital will coordinate a meeting with the our program coordinator prior to your child’s discharge. The program coordinator will contact your to arrange your child’s health information with the POGO Satellite Clinic and first visit.
Please bring your child’s health card and a list of all medications and doses. It is a good idea to bring any special objects to comfort your child and help with any wait times. This will help make your child’s visit as comfortable as possible.
