Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) experienced a data security incident in October 2023 that led to the exposure of personal information belonging to some of our donors. For further information, see the statement and FAQ page on the MGH website.
Our website, mghf.ca, and payments processed via our website were not affected and remain secure.
Antibiotics to treat infections were new. People in Toronto still routinely died from tuberculosis.
Our challenges are different now. Diseases that once took millions of lives are curable. The prevalence of chronic illness like diabetes has skyrocketed, and youth mental illness has reached a crisis point: youth suicide rates have multiplied in recent decades.
Our community’s healthcare needs have changed dramatically, too: it is now one of Canada’s most diverse communities with a broad spectrum of health needs, including a higher prevalence of chronic, complex illnesses and mental health issues than the general population.
As we have throughout our history, we must evolve to meet the changing needs of our community.
Your support ensures our hospital can keep pace with tomorrow’s medical advances, and to make sure everyone living in our community can reach their greatest potential.
Between spring 2018 and 2024, our hospital campus will transform into the modern healthcare facility our community deserves.
The Ken and Marilyn Thomson Patient Care Centre is the cornerstone of our redevelopment project. Modern, bright, and thoughtfully designed to respond to the healthcare needs of East Toronto, the new facility will be a source of community pride and reflect the quality care and warmth that Michael Garron Hospital is known for. Features include:
The existing campus will also get a facelift during the redevelopment. Enhancements include:
Upgraded child/adolescent outpatient mental health clinics
