Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation continues to support a broad range of initiatives. Funding hospital research and sustaining the hospitals’ highest clinical priorities remains an important focus in our fundraising efforts.

Knowledge, talent, commitment and a culture of innovation are some of the key components that drive scientific advances at UHN. Without a strong and progressive infrastructure, however, our excellent investigators would not be successful. A solid infrastructure is vital to UHN’s ability to make major breakthroughs in medical science, develop new treatments and improve lives.

Building this infrastructure is where our donors’ support is absolutely essential – the success of our research initiatives is critically dependent on it. Your donations provide the vital seed funding that makes our research possible. With a strong framework to build upon, we can move forward with a full spectrum of exciting research. Here are just a few of the important areas in which investment in infrastructure has set the stage for the next generation of scientific advancements:

• Collaboration on stem cell research
• Expanding research facilities
• Recruiting top scientific talent
• Advancing new drug development
  

Through this process of creativity, collaboration and innovation – and fueled by your support – we will continue to transform the way health care is provided around the world as a result of the discoveries made in our laboratories.
