I am so pleased to share with you a good news story. Today, the new Steinberg Family Paediatric Centre, gracing the 4thfloor of our hospital at the corner of Leslie and Sheppard, opened to patients, families and staff.

Child Life Specialist Esther Huang
If you’ve ever had to take a child to the hospital – your own, a niece, a nephew – chances are you were scared. Maybe you didn’t know what to expect, or feared that your child wouldn’t understand what was going on. Maybe you were anxious yourself, and didn’t know how to explain the situation.

COVID-19 Updates: Message from the President
In my childhood family home, where my siblings and their families normally gather for weekends such as the one approaching, things won't be the usual. During Thanksgiving, years ago, someone in my family (p.s. it was me) started the tradition of going around the table and asking each of us to share what they were thankful for.
