From its beginnings as a hospital for Canadian veterans, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre has flourished into a fully affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Toronto, evolving to meet the needs of the ever growing greater Toronto community. Today, with 1.2 million patient visits each year, Sunnybrook has established itself across three campuses and is home to Canada’s largest trauma centre. In addition, Sunnybrook has five strategic areas of focus including: cancer, heart and vascular, high risk maternal and newborn, image guided brain therapies and trauma. Sunnybrook’s ground-breaking research changes the way patients are treated around the world. Our over 200 scientists and clinician-scientists conduct more than $100 million of breakthrough research each year. http://sunnybrook.ca

Excellent healthcare comes at a price, especially for those who don’t have medical insurance where hospital rates range from $800 for an Emergency Room visit, to $3,700 per day for inpatient ward, and $5,560 per day for Intensive Care. Make sure you arrange for coverage whether you’re a new resident (facing the 3-month wait period), or a visitor to Canada.
