The Hospital for Sick Children (Sickkids)

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), affiliated with the University of Toronto, is one of Canada’s most research-intensive hospitals and one of the world’s leading centres dedicated to improving children’s health. Our history is one of research innovation. The Research Institute was founded in 1954 with the belief that innovation was critical to the hospital’s mission to improve child health. We share the SickKids vision of Healthier Children. A Better World. Our values are research excellence and integrity and our strength is collaboration. We have created an environment where top researchers and health care experts work closely together as a team to improve children’s health.
