How Your Donations Help
Caring for kids requires specialization and innovation.
Children's health care is different. Kids aren’t mini-adults, they require specialized care and treatment.
Community support for specialized paediatric research, care, and education has enabled Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations to achieve so much. Cancer used to be a death sentence; today, 80 per cent of Canadian children with cancer are cured. The incidence of sudden infant death syndrome has been reduced by 40 per cent. Children born with a heart defect used to die before their teen years, and now 90 per cent live into adulthood. These and many more achievements in child health were made possible by donors like you.
For the children's hospitals in Canada, specialized paediatric medicine is key. Specialization enables Canada's Children's Hospital Foundations to address the unique needs of our paediatric population. Tiny hearts, growing bodies, and developing minds require specific equipment, extraordinary medical techniques, family-centered care, and long-term health solutions that take into consideration the entire trajectory of a young person's life.
Through the extraordinary belief, tremendous efforts, generous investments of partners, and donations from you today, our hope for future treatments and cures to address the health challenges that our children now face can become a reality.
