When medical lab scientist Ernest Tutu talks about his work and his research, he is animated, excited and obviously passionate.

An employee in the TSH lab since 2006, Ernest is completing his Masters degree in biomedical science and has spent the last several months conducting research related to Sickle Cell Disease.

Originally from Ghana, Ernest obtained a Bachelor’s degree in biomedical science and worked in two labs in teaching hospitals in England before coming to Canada. After completing the licensing process in Canada, he joined TSH.

The Scarborough Hospital is proud to have partnered with Philips Lifeline to provide to the community the Lifeline service.  We take comfort in knowing that our patients can continue to live confidently and independently in their homes with the reassurance that help is available at the push of a button. 

Lifeline is an easy-to-use medical alarm service that lets you summon help any time of the day or night—even if you can’t speak. All you have to do is press your Personal Help Button, worn on a wristband or pendant, and a trained Personal Response Centre Associate will ensure you get help fast.

Your feedback, either as a patient or as a family member or friend of a patient, is important to us.  Please take a few minutes to complete our very short survey and let us know about your patient experience.
