Over the years, clinical and scientific research has advanced the frontiers of maternity and
newborn care — and Mount Sinai Hospital is at the forefront of that change. Beginning as
a 30-bed maternity hospital, Mount Sinai has grown into one of Canada's busiest birthing
centres. Today, the Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women's and Infants' Health is one
of the largest programs of its kind in Canada. The Centre welcomes almost 7,000 babies
into the world each year — two-thirds of those pregnancies are considered high risk.
Family Labour & Delivery Unit will transform
the delivery experience at Mount Sinai with
spacious birthing rooms, exterior windows,
soft lighting and a calming atmosphere — all
designed to reduce the clinical appearance
of the unit and create a comfortable and
welcoming environment. Five operative
delivery rooms located onsite will support
emergency caesarian-section deliveries.
Mount Sinai is well known for its expert care
of moms and babies — especially for those
in high-risk situations. With the ongoing
support of our loyal donors — people like
you — the Hospital is poised to continue
this tradition for many years to come.
Mount Sinai has matched its respected clinical
expertise with new, state-of-the-art facilities,
equipment and technology designed to
improve outcomes and enhance the comfort
and privacy of our tiniest patients and their
families. Through the support of our generous
donors and transformational gifts from the
Newton Glassman Charitable Foundation,
the Slaight Family Foundation and other
community leaders, the Hospital is proud to
announce that its new facilities, all part of
the renowned Frances Bloomberg Centre
for Women's and Infants' Health, will open
in early 2015. The grand opening of these
units will mark a new era in the care for
moms and babies and the completion of
Phase II of the Hospital's ambitious capital
redevelopment program, which is funded
in part by Mount Sinai's $500 million
Campaign to Renew Sinai — the largest
campaign in the Hospital's history. With
these new facilities, patients and families
can continue to expect the best possible
experience when cared for at Mount Sinai
during these life-changing moments.
