The Hospital for Sick Children
The Hospital for Sick Children, also known as Sick Kids Hospital, is a children's hospital located on University Avenue in the Discovery District of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto, and is the world's second-largest hospital-based paediatric research facility following Children's Hospital Boston. Founded in 1875, the hospital was inspired by the example of Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, England.
==Funding==
Medical treatments at the hospital are covered by publicly funded health insurance, as is the case in all Canadian hospitals. Philanthropy is a critical source of funding for Sick Kids Hospital that is separate and distinct from government and granting agencies. In 2006/07, financial support from Sick Kids Foundation to the hospital totalled $72.1 million. The support went towards infrastructure and support for physicians, researchers and scientists who compete for national and international research grants. Next to government, Sick Kids Foundation is the largest funding agency in child health research, education and care in Canada. The Foundation maintains a fund, called the ''Herbie Fund'', for patients not covered by Canadian health insurance. The fund was established in 1979 to provide for the treatment of Herbie Quiñones, a seven-month-old patient from Brooklyn, New York.
