Clinical and Program Advisory Committees

Our committees are a reflection of the spirit of collaboration that is a hallmark of POGO. Committee members volunteer their time and expertise to make a tangible difference. Working in partnership with a wide group of stakeholders—healthcare professionals, parents, survivors, national and provincial cancer care partners—brings different experiences to bear on the issues and challenges of the childhood cancer care system. Together, we engage in creative and evidence-informed thinking and drive Ontario’s system to deliver the best care for the best possible outcomes for patients, survivors, their families and those who care for them. We are grateful for the commitment of our volunteers and encourage others to get involved on a POGO committee by visiting the Volunteer page of our website.
