It’s been a busy year at Sinai Health System. We’ve celebrated some remarkable achievements. At Mount Sinai, we announced the creation of the new Ontario Fetal Centre. Bridgepoint welcomed the Honourable Christine Elliot, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care for the announcement of permanent funding to open the 10th floor unit. Circle of Care achieved a perfect score on their Accreditation Survey.
Each year we also take time to celebrate and recognize our people, the employees, physicians volunteers, scientists and learners who work together to ensure we provide optimal care to patients and their families. Below is a collection of stories and photos about this year’s events and celebrations.
In April, the Ontario government announced a $4 million investment to create a new specialized centre for fetal medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. The centre will build on an existing partnership between Mount Sinai Hospital and SickKids that sees world-renowned specialists perform more than 100 in-utero surgeries and procedures a year. Look back at the announcement here. You can also check out the new website for the Ontario Fetal Centre here.
Each year in May, Sinai Health System is proud to honour the leadership, passion and dedication of our nurses during National Nursing Week. It’s a way of saying thank you to the more than 1,800 nurses across our system. One of the highlights of the week is the Nursing Awards ceremony, a time to recognize excellence in nursing at both campuses. Check out a gallery of photos and the list of winners here.
We honoured volunteers across Sinai Health System with awards ceremonies at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare, Circle of Care and Mount Sinai Hospital this spring. The three events brought volunteers together to celebrate the importance of volunteerism and the contributions of volunteers who make a difference in the lives of patients, families, and staff.
Circle of Care’s volunteer event included talk by Dr. Robert Bondar, Canada’s first female astronaut. Read more about her visit here.
