Profile (Overview)
Sunnybrook has grown to become a fully affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Toronto from its humble beginnings as a hospital for Canadian veterans, adapting to serve the needs of our expanding neighbourhood. The largest trauma centre in Canada is located at Sunnybrook, which has grown to encompass three campuses and receives 1.3 million patient visits annually. The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation's treaty area, as well as the ancestral and traditional grounds of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Ojibway/Chippewa, and Huron-Wendat Nations, are acknowledged by Sunnybrook. The world's approach to treating patients is altered by the ground-breaking research from Sunnybrook. Each year, our team of over 200 scientists and clinician-scientists conducts ground-breaking research worth over $100 million. We'll learn how to treat the incurable tomorrow.
