The Women and Babies Program covers the broad spectrum of care related to pregnancy, labour and delivery, care of premature babies and women's reproductive health. Sunnybrook is home to the second largest high-risk birthing centre in Ontario and provides care for 1 in 5 of all infants in the province weighing less than three pounds. Sunnybrook Foundation is raising $40 million to help build a two-storey, state-of-the-art home for women and babies on Sunnybrook's Bayview Campus. The new home will accommodate 4,500 births annually and feature a leading edge Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Our financial support will help ensure healthy lives by giving full-term, premature and acutely ill babies in Toronto the very best start in life.
