The Hospital for Sick Children, or ‘SickKids’ as many people know it, is a beacon of hope for children and families across Canada and well beyond. Having recently been named the no.1 children’s hospital in the world, it’s no secret that their level of care and expertise is unparalleled. And for many Canadian children requiring specialized care, SickKids isn’t simply the best option—it’s the only one.  

SickKids sees nearly 400,000 patients from across Canada each year. They perform 100 percent of Ontario’s complex neonatal surgeries, over 50 percent of Canada’s bone marrow transplants, 60 percent of Canada’s complex heart surgeries, and is the only place in Canada that corrects heart defects in babies before they’re born. 

Through our internal review, we also discovered a number of people on our team across Canada had first-hand experiences with a loved one being cared for at SickKids, so it is especially meaningful for all of us to be part of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to join the fight to help build this hospital and invest in a world-class institution serving not only Canadian children and their families but families around the world.”  

But for all the amazing things this hospital is able to do, today they are facing their biggest battle against the limits of an old building, where families lack private spaces, ceiling heights can’t accommodate medical equipment, and clinical spaces are cramped, worn and inefficient. As their facilities deteriorate, and the demand for their services grows, we find ourselves in a once-in-a-generation position, to help them build a hospital of the future.
