Supporting University Health Network in its vision to achieve global impact are three partner foundations:
Arthritis and Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation
Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation
Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation
Their combined efforts raised more than $150 million (net) in 2006/07 for research, medical education and patient care.
The Foundations work as catalysts to transform our hospitals. From the creation of new medical and research facilities, the recruitment and retention of the best healthcare professionals in the world to the establishment of Chairs, Fellowships and Professorships – the Foundations facilitate progress and development through various fundraising mechanisms to ultimately benefit patients.
Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation
The AARC Foundation raises, manages and invests funds for arthritis and related autoimmune disease research taking place in labs and clinics across UHN. We strive to increase awareness of this large family of diseases, which affects over four million Canadians.
Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation
The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation raises over $60 million annually to support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at Canada’s leading cancer research hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and its research arm, the Ontario Cancer Institute. Our vision is To Conquer Cancer.
