Innovation Cancer, stroke, heart disease, trauma, babies in severe distress. All life-threatening, but beatable. Beatable with scientific discovery that is happening at a pace that’s never been faster. The time to take on our biggest public health threats is right now.

When it matters most.

Life-savingWhen a lump is cancer. When blood can’t reach the heart. When a car spins out of control. When a baby comes far too soon.

When a life is on the line.

For all the reasons that matter to you, when it matters most, count on Sunnybrook.

Page 7: What matters most to you?

It’s because we have the busiest trauma centre in the country. It’s because a family doctor, or even another hospital, can’t fix the problem and they believe that Sunnybrook offers the best hope.

This reputation has been built over more than 60 years of world-class care and world-leading medical discovery. Discovery that has changed not only how we save lives at Sunnybrook, but how breech babies are delivered in India, how soldiers are put back together in Afghanistan, how strokes are stopped in Thunder Bay, how breast cancer is detected in the United States.

To continue to be the hospital that people rely on when it matters most, we need your investment in research, in people, in equipment, in space. To answer the “what ifs” that will forever change health care at Sunnybrook and around the world.

We need these things to save lives. Your friend’s life. Maybe a loved one’s. Your neighbour’s. Your own.

The Campaign for Sunnybrook is an ambitious $470-million fundraising effort that will see Sunnybrook discover the cures, design the treatments and provide the most advanced care to the people we serve.

Investing in a winnerYou will invest where you know you can make the biggest difference. Our proof is in our history of success. Innovations discovered by Sunnybrook are saving lives in our community and around the world – right now, this very minute.

Here’s what we’ve already done with investment from our supporters:

1 Invented digital mammography

2 Pioneered the global standard for managing trauma care

3 Invented “one-day” breast cancer radiation therapy

4 Changed how breech babies are delivered around the world

5 Performed Toronto’s first-ever minimally invasive heart bypass

6 Invented 3-D imaging of the heart

Saving lives today. Inventing the health care of tomorrow.Sunnybrook treats more people with their lives on the line than any hospital in Canada. There are many reasons why.

$470 Million

Lives Saved

Our goal is to raise these funds by 2014. Along with the generosity of the private sector, governments will provide matching grants of more than $300 million.

In total, the Campaign for Sunnybrook will stimulate a $770-million investment in the health of our community.

This investment is monumental. Almost a billion dollars.

Our goals are simple. Their impact is profound:

•Todiscoverthecausesofdiseasethrough research

•Totranslatethatdiscoveryintomedical innovations

•Todeliverthatinnovativecaretopatients at Sunnybrook and then around the world

•ToeducateandtrainCanada’sfuture medical leaders

“ The investments we make today ensure that Sunnybrook is always ahead of the pace in offering innovative treatments and saving lives.”

Joel Feldberg, patient and donor

Working together to save lives

The impact equation

The Campaign for Sunnybrook will see our community – people, companies, foundations and community groups – invest $470 million in the health care of the people served by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Health care needs investors like youOur partner, the Province of Ontario, funds most of the essential patient care operations of Sunnybrook. To fund space improvements, research and the latest equipment, to attract the best medical minds, and to secure financial sustainability, we rely on our community to invest in us.

Investing where you trustInvesting in Sunnybrook means trusting that your support will have the biggest impact possible. Over the past five years, an average of just 15 per cent of all funds raised were used for the administration of Sunnybrook Foundation.

“ The expansion of Sunnybrook is an important partnership between the Ontario government and private donors. Together we’ll build the best hospital in Canada.”

Our four vital needs

To keep our promise – to be there for you when it matters most – Sunnybrook must meet four fundamental needs.

16 17

At Sunnybrook, lives are saved every day in spaces designed for much smaller patient volumes than we serve. And in spaces that just weren’t designed for the needs our community has now.

Our chemotherapy suites treat 18,000 patients each year, but were designed for only 5,000.

Our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit was built over 40 years ago, when cardiovascular disease wasn’t the killer it is today.

Our trauma and emergency centre is too small for the demand. So are our orthopaedic surgery facilities.

Sunnybrook treats one in 10 Canadian women with breast cancer. These women need a

new Breast Cancer Centre that will bring together the brightest minds in breast cancer research to find a cure and continue to make advancements in treatment.

As we build to serve our patients better, we’re also building to responsibly steward our environment, significantly reducing our energy and water consumption.

The room to operateHighlights of our new and expanded facilities include:

New space for research $ 46.5 Million

A new home for our Women & Babies Program $ 40 Million

A new Breast Cancer Centre $ 27 Million

Renovated and expanded facilities for the Schulich Heart Centre $ 25 Million

A new trauma and emergency centre $ 22 Million

Renovated and expanded facilities at the Holland Orthopaedic & Arthritic Centre $ 22 Million

A new chemotherapy unit $ 12 Million

“ The Holland Centre has the best orthopaedic surgeons in Canada. Our investment will keep them here and will help to attract and train the next generation of medical leaders.”

Sunnybrook’s vision is to invent the future of health care. Research is the engine that powers this innovation.

Many hospitals carry out medical research, but Sunnybrook is set apart from all others by the kinds of research we do, how we do it, and by how it is applied.

Our scientists know our patients and work directly with their doctors. In some cases, their doctors are the scientists. Innovations in disease prevention, imaging and treatment are

delivered directly to our patients. And, from there, our discoveries reach patients around the world.

With over 600 scientists, research is carried out in all of our medical programs. It is the thread that binds every area of the hospital.

Attracting the greatest medical scientists is a globally competitive challenge. The world’s best go where the funding for their research is available and where they can find peers and facilities to support their work.

We have some of the world’s best. We need to keep them and we need more of them.

Finding the solutions to medicine’s most life-threatening conditions is expensive. And it’s not fully funded by any level of government. The Campaign for Sunnybrook will fund these solutions.

Bringing discovery to lifeHighlights of our research investments include:

Researchers $ 14.5 Million

Surgical Oncology $ 3 Million

Prostate Cancer $ 3 Million

Stroke $ 3 Million

Brain Tumour $ 3 Million

Critical Care Medicine $ 3 Million

Critical Care Nursing $ 3 Million

…people never bled to death again?We’re testing the effects of temperature and the use of liquid salt to stop massive bleeding in trauma victims.

…completely blocked arteries, untreatable now, could be unblocked?We’re testing a new application for an old enzyme, used in conjunction with a tool we invented, to slide through coronary blockages.

…brain surgery could be performed without the surgery?We’re testing the use of ultrasound to obliterate brain tumours without ever making an incision.

…the affects of alzheimer’s disease could be reversed?We’re on the brink of being able to grow new brain cells that can repair the physical destruction of the brain caused by this disease.

…prostate cancer treatment never caused impotence?We’re using ultrasound to kill tumours without harming nearby tissue.

…the deaf could hear again?We’re close to reproducing the fine hairs of the inner ear that are missing in people who can’t hear.

“ I moved from Harvard to Sunnybrook because of the unique group of internationally renowned imaging scientists.”

State-of-the-art medical technology is critical to saving lives. It’s also key to providing advanced therapies. Without it, medical discovery doesn’t happen. And it is absolutely essential to attracting the world’s foremost researchers, doctors and staff.

It’s difficult to fix a problem you cannot see. That’s why imaging is the backbone of our work, from diagnosis and treatment to making research breakthroughs that are changing medical practice around the world.

We invented new methods of finding tumours that were undetectable in the past. We can now take 3-D pictures of

the heart that give us a more accurate view than ever before. We now have the ability to see how the brain functions in real time and, more importantly, how it can be repaired following a stroke.

Our next step in imaging technology is to move beyond seeing the problem to finding cures for disease. We’ll even be able to predict the onset of disease in individuals before symptoms ever show themselves.

Beyond imaging technology, we will acquire new medical devices across many of our specialty areas. These tools are essential to providing world-class treatment.

Things like radioactive seeds that can be implanted directly into tumours, eliminating the need for radiation treatments.

And equipping our new Breast Cancer Centre where one in 10 Canadian women with breast cancer will be treated.

And acquiring a surgical robot to perform surgeries that can’t otherwise be performed without it.

The critical tools for life

Some highlights of our future investments in technology include:

Heart imaging equipment $ 6.3 Million

A surgical robot $ 4.5 Million

Radiation seed treatment $ 4.4 Million

Stroke diagnosis and treatment equipment $ 2.8 Million

Brain imaging equipment $ 2.5 Million

3-D, 4-D and traditional ultrasound systems $ 2.5 Million

“ Brain imaging is opening new windows into our most complex organ. It provides an unprecedented glimpse into how the brain works, and stops working, so we can restore health to our patients.”

Sometimes, urgent and unplanned investment is required to take a discovery made in the lab and put it into practice with real patients, saving lives.

The Sunnybrook Fund is vitally important because it sustains us with crucial unrestricted funds. This support isn’t earmarked for a specific area. The funding is flexible and can be directed where and when investments are needed most.

A portion of the Fund is also used to support the operations of Sunnybrook Foundation. The functions supported include fundraising and reporting to investors on the impact their funding has achieved.

The careful stewardship of donor investments is a critical principle of ours. Our investors trust us. And, they have every reason to.

The use of the Sunnybrook Fund is strictly governed by the Foundation’s board of directors.

Over the past five years, an average of just 15 per cent of all funds raised were used to administer our fundraising efforts. This very low ratio is amongst the most efficient in Canada’s health care fundraising community.

Supporting our vital work

“ I donate to the Sunnybrook Fund because it’s essential that the Foundation have funds to operate and apply to urgent needs and unexpected opportunities within the hospital.”

Investing in a healthy environment

The link between health and the quality of our environment is clear. Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable environment.

Sunnybrook is the greenest hospital in Canada. We’re focused on reducing our use of energy and water, and reducing our waste.

The keystone of our sustainability plan is a $28-million program of energy efficient infrastructure upgrades. We have the largest solar panel installation of any Canadian hospital. Through our water conservation projects, we save enough water to service 250 homes.

And we’re doing simple things that add up to big things in an organization like Sunnybrook with 10,000 staff. We print on both sides of a sheet of paper. We have introduced paperless administration systems. We sort our plastics and other recyclables ourselves.

Our environmental programs have been recognized with local and national awards. We were named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers in 2009. And while we’re proud of that, it’s not what matters most to us.

What matters most to us is that we contribute to the health of our community in every way we can.

“ We’re surrounded by beautiful parklands. They are a part of our heritage that we are committed to caring for – just as seriously as the lives entrusted to us.”

Dr. Barry McLellan, president and CEO Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Caring for the health of our community

goes beyond healing bodies and minds. It is also about protecting the health of the environment around us.
