Welcome
In coordination with our annual SickKids Leaders campaign we thought it would be useful and informative to have a place where you can see some of the areas that the Foundation directs the gifts of the donors who support the Hospital - donors like you.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Denis Daneman
Paediatrician-in-Chief
Dr. Janet Rossant
Chief of Research
Dr. James Wright
Surgeon-in-Chief & Chief of Perioperative Services
