CHEER is a community centre designed for immunocompromised children undergoing and recovering from medical treatment. CHEER understands that these children face many struggles aside from their illnesses, such as negative impacts on their development and higher risks of developing mental health illnesses. These struggles may slow recovery time which, in turn, prolongs treatment.

 

CHEER is designed in accordance with LEED and WELL building standards as well as consideration for universal accessibility. By offering a wide variety of services and activities such as fitness programs, art classes, mental health counselling, tutoring, and parental assistance classes, CHEER welcomes all occupants into a safe, clean, fun, and interactive environment.

 

The CHEER facility provides quality care to every child, enables occupants to stay on track in their educational and social development, promotes positive childhood experiences, and inspires hope in every child in order to prepare them for life after treatment.
