At Mount Sinai, a downtown hospital in Canada’s most populous and most culturally diverse city, we provide a continuum of care, delivering The Best Medicine to all who need us, throughout their lifetime.
Clinical Excellence- We welcome more than 6,700 babies into the world every year, and we care for more high-risk pregnancies than any other hospital in the country
- Every year, we admit more than 25,000 in-patients, while our ambulatory clinics handle over 660,000 visits
- We save babies’ lives before they’re even born, inserting chest shunts, performing blood transfusions and repairing placental problems with innovative in utero laser surgery
- Mount Sinai’s Schwartz/Reisman Emergency Centre treats some 43,000 patients a year; approximately 118 people a day
- We offer translation services in 45 languages
- Our Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre sees more than 33,000 patients a year for screening, diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer
- Our sarcoma program is the largest multi-disciplinary program of its kind in Canada
- Our in-patient psychiatry unit offers specialized care for patients with psychological trauma
- Our world-class fertility clinic offers treatment for male and female infertility and in vitro fertilization
- We offer palliative care to support people who are dying, and their families
Research - Our Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute is renowned as one of the world’s top 10 biomedical research facilities
Our scientists are making discoveries that are improving diagnosis and therapies for the most devastating diseases of our time, including cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, depression and bipolar disorder and complications in pregnancy
Thanks to research done at Mount Sinai, our physicians can more easily identify false labour, thus administering drugs less frequently and reducing unnecessary admissions to hospital
Research by Lunenfeld scientists has the potential to change screening processes for colon cancer and treatments for kidney disease
Education - We’re training the next generation of health-care professionals: in 2007, 40% of the University of Toronto’s undergraduate clinical clerks, residents and fellows were based at Mount Sinai, training in 36 accredited programs
- We’ve earned a leadership position in simulation training, most visibly in the University of Toronto Surgical Skills Centre located in Mount Sinai Hospital, where over 4,000 medical students, residents and surgeons develop and refine their skills and test innovative surgical techniques
