Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is a nationally leading and internationally recognised academic health care centre based at several sites in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Our team delivers expert, compassionate care to patients from across Ontario; wide ranging and sometimes unique education to thousands of learners each year; and research and implementation of innovations that invent the future of health care.

Since our first patient in 1946, Sunnybrook has evolved and expanded to become a network of integrated sites and campuses representing the full continuum of care including pre‑hospital, acute, and post‑acute and key specialty services for Ontario.

Sunnybrook is embarking on a multi‑year digital, clinical transformation project to implement a new health information system (HIS) across all campuses and satellite sites, through Project REACH. The project is a pillar of enabling exemplary patient experience and quality of care and therefore this is not solely an information technology initiative, but one founded in clinical transformation and care redesign.
