POGO is the official advisor to the Government of Ontario on childhood cancer care.
With our many partners, we have built a world-class system of care that supports the needs of children, youth, survivors and their families. Our programs and services provide wraparound care from the time of diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship. And at the heart of our work is a model that blends the stability of government funding with the power of donor generosity—ensuring access to care when and where it is needed most.
