The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), affiliated with the University of Toronto, is Canada's most research-intensive hospital and the largest centre dedicated to improving children's health in the country.
With passionate and dedicated staff, SickKids is much more than a hospital. We work each day to provide the best in
child and family-centred care, pioneer ground-breaking clinical and
scientific advancements, and
train the next generation of experts in child health.
Together, we are advancing
Precision Child Health, a movement to individualize care for every child based on what makes them unique - from their genetic code to their postal code.
Commitment to Diversity
Creating an environment where equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility is championed and valued across our care, research and education initiatives is key to achieving our vision of Healthier Children. A Better World. We are committed to being a safe space for all patients and families, employees, learners and volunteers, where individuality is celebrated, where diversity is embraced and where everyone can feel acknowledged, valued and respected. From patient care and services to research design to systemic policies, procedures and projects, we want everyone who comes to SickKids to feel celebrated for their unique self – in every clinic, every office, every day.
Vision of the Future
Paediatric health care has historically been limited by boundaries, traditions and established ways of doing things. At SickKids, we no longer accept a world where children’s health is determined by averages and a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.
We now have the people, the knowledge and the technology required to smash barriers, rewrite the rules and show the world what is means to truly treat children uniquely, while continuing to care deeply about them and their families.
This is SickKids 2030.
- SickKids 2030 is about Precision Child Health. A movement that’s already begun and is shifting us from a textbook approach to health care to one that is individualized to each patient’s unique characteristics.
- SickKids 2030 is about harnessing data, from a child’s DNA to where they live to what they do in their daily life, so that we can deliver care that is as unique as the child themselves.
- SickKids 2030 is about fueling discoveries and creating a culture where ideas flow, disciplines converge, and learning never stops… propelled by artificial intelligence that is ethical, responsible, and deeply human.
- SickKids 2030 is about innovation and the innovators themselves, because great care starts by making SickKids the best place to work, to grow, and to belong.
Join us as we redefine paediatric health care for
Healthier Children. A Better World.
