Our Impact
When a kid is sick, it’s with them every single minute of every single day.
Let’s break that down a bit.
- Every day, over 5,000 children receive care at a children’s hospital in Canada
- Every day, more than 250 surgeries are performed on kids in Canada
- Every day, over 2,100 diagnostic imaging procedures are done on kids in Canada
It seems daunting, but these stats aren’t permanent. We’re changing the outcomes, because every kid deserves a childhood.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
Revolutionizing treatment and care through research
Your contributions support researchers who uncover new cures and gentler treatments through ground-breaking research and clinical trials.
Right care. Right place. Right time.
Your support helps deliver the best care possible at every touchpoint, including frontline paediatric training and education, as well as new partnerships, technologies and healthcare delivery models, telemedicine, and satellite centres for community health.
Creating healing environments.
Your donations support therapies, spaces and equipment that are designed for the specific needs of children and youth, such as child-centred and youth-oriented programs, family-centred facility design, and adaptable equipment and technology.
Thanks to your support, we’re helping hospitals change the outcome for sick children. But the fight isn’t over. And we need you now more than ever. Get involved.
