TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnybrook Foundation<\/a> has publicly launched You\u2019re The Reason<\/i>, a historic $1 billion campaign, the largest in the hospital\u2019s history, with more than $500 million already raised toward its goal.<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nNamed to reflect the central role donors, patients and Team Sunnybrook play in Sunnybrook\u2019s biggest breakthroughs and most critical moments of care, You\u2019re The Reason <\/i>is a call to action. The campaign will mobilize extraordinary minds, accelerate clinical trials, equip teams with tools and spaces equal to their ambition, and advance planning for a new Critical Care Centre at Sunnybrook\u2019s Bayview Campus for patients and families in Toronto, across Ontario and beyond.<\/p>

\n\u201cThis campaign represents a defining moment for Sunnybrook and for health care,\u201d said Kelly Cole, President & CEO, Sunnybrook Foundation<\/b>. \u201cOur purpose is to fuel the ambition of the hospital. What we choose to do together now will determine how far we can go in delivering exceptional care for the communities that rely on us. When we accomplish this campaign, Sunnybrook will be stronger because of the donors who made it possible.\u201d<\/p>

\nSunnybrook sees more than 1.1 million patient visits each year and cares for more people on the toughest days of their lives than any other hospital in Canada. Across its 11 programs, Sunnybrook advances groundbreaking research, while treating heart attacks, massive strokes, complex cancers, traumatic injuries, high-risk pregnancies and more. As the country\u2019s largest trauma centre, Sunnybrook provides care for people across Ontario in their most critical moments. With Canada\u2019s population aging and health-care needs growing increasingly complex, the way care is delivered must continue to evolve.<\/p>

\n\u201cThere\u2019s a reason people come to Sunnybrook. When it matters most, when the stakes are highest, when someone needs their best possible chance, this is where they come,\u201d said Dr. Andy Smith, President & CEO, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre<\/b>. \u201cSunnybrook is not waiting for the future; we are inventing it. You\u2019re The Reason<\/i> is our chance to make a generational leap.\u201d<\/p>

\nOriginally established as a military hospital for soldiers returning home from WWII, Sunnybrook remains one of Canada\u2019s largest Veterans Centre and continues to have a strong partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces, providing clinical training and readiness opportunities. Today, Sunnybrook has grown into one of Canada\u2019s leading centres for complex and specialized care. You\u2019re The Reason<\/i> is concentrated around four interconnected commitments, all pointed in the same direction, to bring the future here first for patients and families:<\/p>
