The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is a world-leading children’s hospital.  

Our patients come from all corners of Ontario, Canada, and across the globe to be treated for everything from broken arms and appendicitis to rare brain cancers and fetal heart defects. Every year, more than 134,000 patients come through our doors, with over 290,000 visits to our clinics and Emergency Department. Scientists and health professionals flock to SickKids to collaborate with experts in an environment that integrates world-class education, research breakthroughs, and family-centred care to improve and save lives. 

For these reasons, SickKids is uniquely positioned to actualize Precision Child Health—a shift to healthcare that is individualized to each patient’s characteristics. 

Precision Child Health is the future because it's the end of 'one-size-fits-all medicine'. It's one-child-at-a-time medicine. It means focusing deeply, precisely on everything that makes each individual patient who they are, from their genetic code to their postal code, to every signal their body sends.
