Our lives are full of connections – to family, to friends, to work colleagues – that make up an enormous network. At St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, the care our staff provides is the result of innovative research connecting with exceptional education to deliver best healthcare practices to our patients. Our essential connection is with our donors, and this annual report to donors demonstrates the power of generosity and what it accomplishes in care provided, people helped and lives saved. Our legacy of care at St. Michael’s stretches back 120 years, and this report highlights some of our milestones this past year and in the years since St. Michael's was founded. - L. Alayne Metrick, President, St. Michael's Foundation
