You are making an impact Your generous support for Sinai Health System is making an impact on women and families. Thank you. Whether your giving is directed towards Mount Sinai Hospital's modern new women's and infants' care facilities, state-of-the-art medical equipment, innovations in care and support for patients and families, or groundbreaking clinical research — you are helping us improve people's lives. It is only with your support that Mount Sinai has been positioned to continually make the advances in care for moms and babies that we are known for around the world. Yet women's health encompasses far more than the reproductive system. Women's wellness is foundational not only for the health of babies, but also for families and society as a whole. You have made it possible for our care to benefit women of all ages, at all stages of life. We are humbled and grateful for the support of our dedicated philanthropic community, in which women have always been leaders. On behalf of our colleagues in the Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women's and Infants' Health, and the patients and families for whom we provide care, thank you for improving the lives of women and families — locally, across Canada and beyond.
