Today is the first full day of operations in Sunnybrook’s new Garry Hurvitz Brain Sciences Centre, with teams transitioning to the new facility.
Researchers and physicians at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) are the first in the world to use MRI-guided focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain barrier and deliver chemotherapy in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an aggressive and terminal pediatric brain tumour.
On January 20, 2025, the doors to the new Garry Hurvitz Brain Sciences Centre, located at our Bayview campus, will be open and most Hurvitz Brain Sciences program clinical care will transition to the new building.
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is proud to announce a first-in-Canada recognition, as we received not only the Level 1 Age-Friendly Health System Participant designation, but also the prestigious Level 2 Age-Friendly Health System Committed to Care Excellence designation from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI).
Following the completion of bridge construction on the Lawrence Avenue Allen Expressway Overpass, regular bus services to and from Lawrence West Station will resume at Sunnybrook’s Bayview campus on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
