SickKids is one of six free-standing children's hospitals in Canada, the others being Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver, McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton and IWK Health Centre in Halifax.
SickKids has built an integrated environment of patient care, research and learning. Nine centres within the hospital specialize in bone health, brain and behaviour, cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart, pain, image-guided care, genetic medicine, and transplantation. In 2009–2010, SickKids admitted 14,000 in-patients who stayed for an average of 7.1 days. The operating room treated 11,000 cases; there were 58,000 visits to the emergency department and 215,000 visits to the hospital’s ambulatory clinics. SickKids has about 370 beds and provides the highest level of complex and specialized paediatric family-centred care.[1]
The SickKids Research Institute is the largest child health research institute in Canada. It employs almost 2,000 people, or a quarter of the SickKids workforce. The Research Institute is known for its groundbreaking research in stem cells, childhood cancer, cystic fibrosis and other diseases, and is home to the Database of Genomic Variations, known as the Toronto Database.[2]
The Learning Institute was established in 2007 to support all forms of learning, from formal training of health-care workers, to the education of patients and families and the transfer of knowledge to the community. SickKids shares its knowledge globally through SickKids International.[3]
Since 1972,[4] the hospital has been equipped with a rooftop helipad (CNW8).[5] It is one of two downtown Toronto hospitals with ahelipad (the other being St. Michael's Hospital) and one of three in Toronto (the third being at Sunnybrook Hospital).
