The Hospital for Sick Children, commonly referred to as SickKids, is a renowned pediatric teaching hospital situated on University Avenue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, it has consistently been ranked as one of the top pediatric hospitals globally. SickKids is known for its extensive research facilities, including the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning, one of the world's largest pediatric research towers. Established in 1875, it has a rich history of providing medical care to sick children and conducting groundbreaking research in various fields of medicine, including the discovery of insulin and the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis. The hospital actively engaged in promoting COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic and received government funding for vaccine confidence campaigns. SickKids is also a member of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), representing the biotechnology industry. Currently, the hospital is undergoing a significant expansion project, with plans to build a patient care center, a support center, renovate the atrium, and invest in pediatric health research. Notable patients treated at SickKids include Peter Czerwinski, known as 'Furious Pete,' and Leonard Thompson, the first diabetic patient to be treated with insulin
