About the Run - CIBC Run for the Cure. In 1992, a small group of volunteers began a movement in Toronto’s High Park.

New Rapid Diagnostic and Breast Support Clinic opens at Osler. An innovative new clinic at Osler will help patients with breast cancer get diagnosed and start treatment sooner.
The new Rapid Diagnostic and Breast Support Clinic, which launched at Brampton Civic on March 23 and Etobicoke General on March 24, expands on our existing oncology and breast programs by bringing together clinicians from Osler's surgery, oncology, diagnostic imaging and pathology teams. Patients also have access to a Nurse Navigator, who can help guide them through the clinic and their treatment plans. Together, this multidisciplinary team will reduce wait times by streamlining the diagnostics and treatment processes, and will continue to provide care to patients screened at Osler so they don't need to seek treatment elsewhere.

The Determination of Health Across the Life Course and Across Levels of Influence » SPH. In the first part of this Dean’s Note, I suggested that a life course perspective can be a useful and essential organizing approach for population health science.
I have, in previous work, suggested that life course approaches and multilevel approaches may be the two most important paradigmatic shifts in population health science in recent decades. Building then on the first part of this note, here I comment on multilevel approaches. A multilevel approach to population health is predicated on the understanding that exposures at many levels of organization work together to produce health outcomes. Social Ecological Model Offers New Approach to Public Health.
People do not act in isolation, which is why it is important to understand the ways they interact with their communities and environments, in order to determine why they do what they do.
One way of measuring these networks of interactions is the Social Ecological Model. This model, developed by sociologists in the 1970s, studies how behaviors form based on characteristics of individuals, communities, nations and levels in between. In examining these intervals and how they interact and overlap, public health experts can develop strategies to promote wellbeing in the U.S. and abroad. Ecological Model. What makes some students, faculty, and staff healthy and others unhealthy? How can we create a campus community in which everyone has a chance to be healthy and live long, healthy lives? Healthy Campus 2020 explores these questions by emphasizing an ecological approach to improve student, faculty, and staff health. An ecological approach focuses on both population-level and individual-level determinants of health and interventions. It considers issues that are community-based and not just individually focused (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators [NASPA], 2004, p. 3).
The Public Health Disparities Geocoding Project Monograph. It is well known that there are substantial area variations in mortality rates in the U.S. However, the presence of area differences in mortality does not necessarily mean that area matters. Area variations in mortality can be observed due to a number of reasons some of which may be due to characteristics that relate to areas and others that relate to the characteristics of the individuals who live in these areas.
Disentangling the two sources of variation (e.g.: individual and area) in mortality is therefore vital to distinguishing area differences from the difference that area makes. Such an approach to examining area variations in mortality, consequently, entails describing the patterning and causes in mortality variations, which in turn, requires answering the following empirical questions preferably in a sequential manner.
