Mount Sinai Hospital Auxiliary — Pride in our Past, Building our Future
In 1953, when Mount Sinai Hospital moved from Yorkville Avenue to University Avenue in Toronto, the Mount Sinai Hospital Auxiliary was established. Our mandate was then — and remains today — to assist the Hospital with raising funds and community awareness to provide the best patient care.
Mount Sinai Hospital (originally named The Toronto Jewish Maternity and Convalescent Hospital) was established in 1922 by a group of dedicated women. That tradition of dedication and vision is even stronger today. The Auxiliary continues to be the largest hospital auxiliary in North America with over 1,300 members who continue to raise urgently needed funds for Mount Sinai Hospital's world-renowned patient care, teaching and research that Mount Sinai Hospital is known for.
Through our special events and other fundraising programs, the Auxiliary is one of the largest single donors to Mount Sinai Hospital. We could not achieve our success without the loyal and strong support of the community. Together, we work hard to provide the funds to help deliver The Best Medicine.
The Auxiliary has embarked on a new $4.5 million pledge focused on women’s health. Our funding ensures that state of the art health care is provided to Mount Sinai Hospital’s centres of excellence including Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre, Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute and the Peter A. Silverman Centre for International Health.
This comprehensive pledge benefits the Hospital’s major pillars —patient care, research, technology, and education—by providing meaningful and critical support to ensure Mount Sinai Hospital remains a world leader on the medical stage.
