What Happened
Toronto General Hospital (TGH) has been ranked as the second-best hospital in the world by Newsweek magazine, rising from its previous position of third. This marks the first time TGH has achieved this ranking, making it the top universally accessible hospital globally and the only Canadian hospital to break into the top 10.
Why It Matters
This recognition underscores the excellence and innovation present at TGH and its associated programs, including the Sprott Department of Surgery and the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre. Julie Quenneville, CEO of UHN Foundation, emphasized that this achievement reflects the dedication of the hospital’s staff and the vital support from the community, particularly through philanthropy, which fuels research and innovation.
What’s Next
As TGH continues to lead in healthcare, the focus will remain on sustaining its world-class services through donor support and integrated care. The hospital aims to further enhance its capabilities in complex cardiac care, transplantation, and surgical innovation, while also preparing the next generation of health professionals through the Michener Institute of Education.
