Inside Toronto special looks at the "culture of caring" and innovation that permeates Toronto hospitals, healthcare centres and medical research facilities. From the Scarborough Hospital's new tasty food options, to Humber River Regional Hospital's digital transformation, Toronto's healthcare centres are on the forefront of patient care and medical innovation.
"Not only does this culture of advancement and innovation attract brilliant minds in the health care field, it establishes Toronto as forward-thinking and a global leader."
"And the giving travels in both directions. There are fundraisers and walks throughout the year, which raise much-needed funds for one form of research or another. Citizens give back when they are proud of the work being done by those in the medical field. In particular when it is happening in their city.
The great strides being made in healthcare by institutions across the city are the kinds of things Torontonians should be proud of—especially when everything coming from various levels of government is all doom and gloom. In particular, hospitals are under fire for CEO salaries, the province is talking of delisting some services from OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) and the federal government wants to transfer healthcare funding to the provinces."
"At this time, everyone should know about the eye surgery being done at Toronto East General Hospital, which takes amniotic membrane from donated placentas to repair and reconstruct damaged eyes; the stem cell research at the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine that helps find treatments for conditions like heart disease and spinal cord injury; the work into children's health at the Hospital for Sick Children; and the coronary artery clinical trials underway at North York's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre."
