ABOUT NORTH YORK GENERAL FOUNDATION

Exceptional care requires exceptional support. At North York General Foundation, we know this to be true, which is why we are grateful to every one of our supporters who understand the central role that North York General plays in caring for our community.

At the Foundation, our mission is to raise and steward funds that enable North York General to deliver exceptional health care to our diverse communities. The Foundation supports our hospital’s most urgent needs, including equipment replacement and upgrades, capital projects, and funding our applied research institute and educational awards.

We also look beyond the needs of the day-to-day and seek to invest in programs and infrastructure that will transform how our hospital delivers care and how this improved care can be replicated and scaled across Canada.  We are fortunate to have eager and willing partners in the hospital who work with us to identify needs and priorities, explain these to potential donors, and help us to tell stories about the hospital’s amazing impact on the community and people it serves.

Thanks to the support of our generous community, the hospital has achieved substantial capital growth across the hospital sites, including:

What’s Next: 2023 and Beyond

This is an exciting point in time at the Hospital and Foundation as we plan ahead for some exciting growth and changes. NYGH’s Strategic Plan, Thinking Beyond will see the Hospital transforming and expanding our buildings to provide healing environments, an outstanding patient experience, and the highest quality of care for patients and families.

In partnership with the Government of Ontario, the NYGH Foundation and our generous donors, we are embarking on our largest expansion since the hospital opened more than 50 years ago.

Investing in a Better Tomorrow includes plans for a New Patient Care Tower and a new Seniors’ Care Home.

The New Patient Care Tower (anticipated to open in 2029/30) will add 110 new inpatient beds for a total of 535 beds on the General site, to serve our communities for generations to come. Our expanded hospital will transform health care in our community including:

The landmark new Seniors’ Care Home built right on our site will be one of the largest in Toronto and among the first designed using our insights from the pandemic. The home will be fully integrated with the hospital to provide residents with full access to emergency and specialty services and NYGH’s large family medicine team. It will also be connected to an array of seniors’ services including our well-known Freeman Centre for the Advancement of Palliative Care, Geriatric Mental Health, rehab services and many other seniors-specific clinics for residents and the community.

The new home will be built with our many communities in mind, with special focus on culturally diverse programming, resources and food. Planning is well underway, and the home is expected to open before 2027 with the Foundation contributing $15M.

In addition to these, the Foundation is engaged in fundraising for other high priority needs such as the redevelopment of our Birthing Centre ($32M) , critical upgrades to our Adult Mental Health Inpatient Unit ($1.4M) and new technology in our nuclear medicine department. The Foundation will be supporting and working with the Hospital to make these projects a reality, as well as continuing with fundraising efforts for equipment needs, and to support ongoing excellence in community-based, applied research, innovation, and education. With this in mind, the Foundation has recently engaged in major campaign planning, including a capacity assessment and financial forecasting.
