Located in vibrant and multi-cultural downtown Toronto, North America’s fastest-growing city, UHN’s Toronto Western Hospital is a leading medical and institution in Canada, offering exceptional care to a diverse patient population with a community feel.

World-leading surgical teams within UHN’s Sprott Department of Surgery perform many of the most technically complex surgeries – often unavailable elsewhere – relating to the brain and nervous system, bones and muscles, the eyes, cancer, the abdomen and urology, emergency and acute care, and much more.

Toronto Western Hospital was constructed over a century ago and has more than 450,000 patient visits annually. The current surgical infrastructure does not meet today’s growing patient volumes or match the advanced skills of our surgical teams – some of the best and brightest in the world. It is time for Toronto Western Hospital to set a new standard for patient care while bringing much-needed additional capacity to the Ontario healthcare system.

To meet this need, we are breaking ground on a new 15-storey tower featuring state-of-the-art surgical facilities, patient floors and support services, set to open in 2027 – but we need donor support to help fund the construction.

As one of Canada’s top hospitals, with international, world-renowned expertise, Toronto Western is well-positioned to build a new surgical tower, equipped with the most advanced operating rooms, an exceptional patient-centred experience and a culture of surgical innovation, powered by the latest technology.

More than bricks and mortar, the surgical tower will foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement, where everyone, from physician to patient, is empowered to improve the patient journey and advance the way we deliver care.

To make this incredible new era of surgical care a reality for Toronto – and Canada – we are raising $275 million to ensure patients remain at the centre of care and elevate our space to better serve the talents of our incredible teams.
