CHEO is committed to providing information of public interest to media. We must balance that commitment with the responsibilities we have to our patients and their families. Their care and safety is our first priority and we are duty-bound to protect their right to privacy and confidentiality. That includes their right not to be interviewed, photographed or have any other information conveyed about them without their written consent.
Guidelines
All media inquiries about CHEO — including requests for interviews with staff, medical staff, learners and volunteers, or with patients and families on CHEO property — must go through media@cheo.on.ca
