Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, abbreviated SHSC and known simply as Sunnybrook, is an academic health sciences centre located in Toronto, Ontario. It is the largest trauma centre in Canada and is one of two major trauma centres in Toronto; the other is St. Michael's Hospital. It offers comprehensive care and is a national leader in image-guided therapies. Sunnybrook recently made history when it received an unprecedented award. It is one of the fastest growing hospitals in North America, and is scheduled to become the nation's largest maternity hospital. Sunnybrook is home to the Edmond Odette Regional Cancer Centre and the Schulich Heart Centre, both national leaders in the respective areas of medicine. As of October 2008, Sunnybrook was named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc., which was announced by the Toronto Star newspaper. Sunnybrook is regarded by many as Toronto's "wealthy" hospital. Due to its proximity to the Bridle Path, Lawrence Park, and other posh North Toronto neighbourhoods as well as the city's wealthy northern suburbs, it treats much of Toronto's elite and high income population. The Kilgour Wing (K Wing) is a long term care centre with the large majority of patients being war veterans. The hospital was a centre used to handle the wounded after World War II. |
