SickKids Foundation
Established in 1972, SickKids Foundation raises funds on behalf of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. SickKids is leading the way in Precision Child Health (PCH). PCH is the future—it’s the end of one-size-fits-all medicine and a shift to medicine tailored precisely to each individual child. It means looking at everything that makes a patient unique, from their genetic code to their postal code, then harnessing all the science, technology and data SickKids is capable of to diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better. SickKids has always believed that healthier children make a better world. Precision Child Health is how we get there. Heal the future. Join us today. Our commitment to you: Staff and volunteers experience an engaging culture built on mutual respect, collaboration and a drive for excellence. We welcome and embrace individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and cultures. SickKids Foundation is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible environment, where all individuals feel valued, respected and supported. Candidates requiring accommodation during the recruitment process are asked to please contact the Human Resources Department.
