3,000+ active research projects aim to solve and treat childhood diseases

You've supported our research into more effective mental health treatment and new approaches using genomics and artificial intelligence to better understand rare diseases and common childhood illnesses


Compassionate Clinical Care

300,000+ patient visits a year, with about 100,000 virtual visits in the last year

You've enabled our social workers to develop and deliver the Young Minds Matter workshop series twice a year, empowering patients to cope with stress and low self-esteem

In a year like no other, you helped SickKids respond swiftly to COVID-19, keeping patients, families, and staff safe and cared for

You've helped kick-start the careers of 19 talented health scientists with New Investigator Research Grants at 12 hospitals across Canada

You're helping us build a bigger, better SickKids where patients won't have to share rooms and clinical areas don't feel clinical
