To participate in the campaign, each charity must provide services
throughout the province. That means that each has regional offices
or chapters providing education and patient care programs in cities
and towns all over Ontario.
These area offices receive funding from the Ontario offices of the
charities so they can provide local services. A large portion of the
money raised by Federated Health goes to medical research.
The charities award research grants to scientists they believe to
be doing the most promising work towards treatments and cures. Those
scientists are located throughout Canada. It is important to remember
that a scientist's work benefits everyone, not just those in the city
in which the work actually takes place.
