A bold new era, a driven community

This past year, we continued to push the boundaries of care—guided by insight, ingenuity and impact—to better serve our patients and families. Whether at the bench, bedside or in the classroom, we are entering a new era that celebrates discovery and innovation across every corner of Sinai Health.

Building on our strong international reputation for research excellence, we launched our first-ever Research Strategic Plan. This plan redefines the role of research by uniting scientific and clinical excellence to improve lives locally and globally. Central to this vision is the creation of Sinai Health Research — a unified structure that brings together our existing and emerging strengths, anchored by the internationally renowned Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, the driving force behind Sinai Health’s discovery research.

We also continue to focus on addressing the gaps in women’s health. Planning for the physical space for the Weston and O’Born Centre for Mature Women’s Health is already underway, and our Centre leadership are working closely to advance research, education and training to set a new standard of care for women through all of life’s stages.

Delivering exceptional care for patients and families

Accelerating discoveries from bench to bedside.

This year also highlighted the powerful intersection of excellence and philanthropy. From our complex obstetrics surgical team successfully delivering the first child in Canada to be born to a mother with a donated womb to the first partial knee replacement in Canada using robotic innovation, the people of Sinai Health are achieving incredible firsts, and our community is helping them imagine the next.

We are harnessing the power of big data and artificial intelligence to enable earlier cancer detection, smarter screening and more equitable health outcomes. At the same time, we are training tomorrow’s leaders through initiatives such as the Advanced IBD Fellowship — the largest program of its kind globally. In the year ahead, we will continue to expand fellowship opportunities to support the next generation of health-care leaders.

Harnessing technology to transform care.

Supporting recovery beyond acute care.

Advancing care across the continuum remains a cornerstone of our work. Through our Hospital to Home program, more than 250 patients from Mount Sinai Hospital and Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital have successfully transitioned home with support from our system partner, Circle of Care.

Throughout this report, you will see how philanthropy enables life-changing care. As we enter a new era of discovery, the support of our community will continue to transform that care. The partnership between Sinai Health and Sinai Health Foundation has never been stronger — or more essential — as we navigate challenges and embrace new opportunities together.

Thank you for being a part of this driven community and for helping shape the future of care at Sinai Health.
