Advancing care. Every day.

This is an exciting time to be involved at St. Michael's Hospital. In an era where public discussion often focuses on problems in the health care system, we are taking a bold step to do something to address the most serious challenge.

The issue is that lifesaving treatments exist in laboratories around the world, but it can take 10 to 15 years before they reach patients. This is a global problem.

We are gathering a group of leading researchers, educators and clinical experts to tackle this issue. Many will find a new home in the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, which links two facilities, the Keenan Research Centre and the Li Ka Shing International Centre in Health Care Education, and is focused on improving care for patients at St. Michael's Hospital and around the world.

We have launched our largest fundraising campaign to date to support the creation of this important new facility. Our $140 million "Advancing care. Every day." campaign will make a tremendous difference to St. Michaels.

Many people are working with us to reach our goal. We thank our volunteer leaders for their dedication and support and we thank our many generous donors for their vision and commitment to advance care.

Please join us and make a campaign contribution. Your gifts will help us continue to provide the finest patient care in Canada.

Message from Campaign Co-Chairs

Building the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute – comprised of the Keenan Research Centre and the Li Ka Shing International Centre in Health Care Education – marks the launch the next era of St. Michael's Hospital and is the focus of our new $140 million campaign called "Advancing care. Every day." The campaign will help us build the Knowledge Institute and also allow us to renovate and improve our women's health centre, support life-saving research and help purchase important new medical equipment.

We have raised $117 million towards our $140 million goal. Many of you have helped us reach this goal. If you have donated to the campaign already, thank you very much for your support. More work remains and we hope you will join us and make a gift to the campaign today. With your help we can continue to advance care at St. Michael's Hospital.
