Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital

Small Wonder: 08 - 09 Hospital and Research Report

Child outside

Dear friends,

Wonder.

It’s a spirit that permeates Bloorview Kids Rehab.

It starts with a deep reverence and respect for every child, a fascination with growth and development, and the belief that all children deserve to participate fully in life.

It’s the curiosity and imagination that bring Bloorview clinicians and scientists together to develop breakthrough treatments and technologies that improve the lives of children with disabilities.

Wonder motivates us to question, study and change a world in which environments and attitudes too often exclude children with disabilities.

It opens our eyes to multiple ways of seeing, and explains the unique integration of care, research and education at Bloorview.

Wondrous are the deeds of our volunteers and donors.

We’re pleased to bring you the first joint report of Bloorview Kids Rehab and the Bloorview Research Institute.

We call it small wonder because our focus is children and youth. And while our size is modest, our work has an international impact in the field of childhood disability that’s astonishing.

On many levels, Bloorview is truly a small wonder.

A world of possibility

For helping us make our vision a reality, we thank Bloorview Kids Foundation, Bloorview Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network, our academic partner – the University of Toronto – and the many community agencies who work with us. We couldn’t do it without you!
