Annual Report
Giving is The Best Medicine
Throughout our 8o-year history built on outstanding community support,
advances in medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital have underscored our leadership
role in providing The Best Medicine for our patients. We are fortunate to
have donors whose generous philanthropy fuels Hospital initiatives, care, and
innovation, improving the quality of life for our patients – whether it’s leadingedge technology, surgery, or research for fighting disease.
We are proud to be one of the country’s leading academic health centres, with
a well-earned reputation for outstanding patient care, innovative teaching, and
pioneering research. Mount Sinai is an acknowledged leader in such areas as
gastrointestinal and infectious diseases, orthopaedics, internal medicine, heart
and respiratory failure, surgical oncology, women’s and infants’ health, urology,
emergency and palliative care, it is a recognized centre for high-incident
chronic adult diseases such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Our
dedicated team of nurses, doctors, scientists, staff, and volunteers are united in their
desire to improve the quality of life of our patients.
To that end, in the past year, Mount Sinai has:
❖ Treated more than 25,ooo inpatients
❖ Treated another 63o,ooo outpatients
❖ Delivered more than 7,ooo babies
❖ Treated 38,ooo patients in the Emergency Department.
Mount Sinai will continue to create The Best Medicine through the advancement
of scientific knowledge at our world-renowned Samuel Lunenfeld Research
Institute. With over 5oo researchers, investigators, and staff, the Institute
ensures that the latest scientific discovery is translated into the best in patient
care now and in the future.
Mount Sinai Hospital is deeply grateful to all the people whose talent,
commitment, and generosity create The Best Medicine.

Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation
Fueling The Best Medicine
At Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation, everything is focused on one objective –
The Best Medicine, which is not just the name of one the most successful
fundraising campaigns in Canadian hospital history. Every day, Mount Sinai’s
nurses, physicians, scientists, staff, volunteers, and donors make The Best
Medicine a passionate reality.
The Best Medicine campaign relies on the extraordinary generosity of our donors
and those who facilitate their philanthropy. Consider our results to date: we have now
raised more than $ 25o million toward our $ 4oo-million campaign goal. These
funds help provide Mount Sinai Hospital with the infrastructure to deliver the best
patient care along with ground-breaking medical research.
For more than 8o years, Mount Sinai has continuously improved delivery of
excellence in patient care. In an era of tight fiscal constraints, the support of our
donor community is even more essential in allowing Mount Sinai to pursue its
mission. Each and every dollar donated is important and warmly appreciated.
We are extremely fortunate that our inspiring donors turn their compassion
into action. We pay special tribute to our most generous supporters over the year
ended March 3ı, 2oo5:
❖ the Kimel family, long-time donors who contributed once again, with $ 8 million
to upgrade our medical imaging department;
❖ Joseph and Wolf Lebovic, who donated an additional $ 6 million to establish the
Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Research Centre;
❖ the Ira Gluskin and Maxine Granovsky-Gluskin Charitable Foundation, which
provided $3 million to establish the Granovsky-Gluskin Centre for Best Practice in
Family Medicine;
❖ Barry and Honey Sherman and Al and Malka Green, who each pledged new
$ ı-million donations.
Our renowned Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute (slri) is ranked among the
world’s top ten research centres. Here, philanthropy is fueling international
research into gene-based disease as well as other areas, including oncology, diabetes,
arthritis, orthopaedics, women’s and infants’ health, and gastrointestinal disease.
Our scientists receive abundant international acclaim, wonderful testimony to the
calibre of research conducted at the slri, which would not be possible without
donor support. From the Surgical Skills Centre to the Marvelle Koffler Breast
Centre to the new home of the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, the
generosity of our donors is transforming Mount Sinai, and advancing excellence.
This report marks a changing of the guard at the Foundation. It is the first report
issued under the leadership of new President Carol Wilding and new Foundation
Board Chair Edward Sonshine, who carry the mandate and possess the qualifications
to lead us to greater heights. It also marks Michael Bregman’s final report with the
completion of his three-year term as Board Chair. We view the future with great
enthusiasm and confidence.
Mount Sinai is a very special and wonderful hospital. It is filled with extraordinary
people – clinicians, volunteers, staff, and supporters – who care deeply. They all
share the same noble goal of providing patients with The Best Medicine. As this
Annual Report pays tribute to the generosity of donors who help make it a reality
and a tremendous success, we have titled it, appropriately, Giving is the Best
Medicine. We thank you.

The Best Medicine
In ı995, Mount Sinai launched The Best Medicine, an ambitious – and highly
successful – fundraising campaign under the visionary leadership of Lawrence
Bloomberg. Joining him in leading phase two of the campaign was Michael
Bregman and now Ed Sonshine, Chair of the Foundation Board. Today more
than $ 25o million has been generated, funding leading-edge research, improved
facilities, and innovative programs. The Best Medicine campaign has an ambitious
goal to raise a total of $ 4oo million by 2oo8.
Edward Sonshine
Our donors understand the power of their philanthropy to transform innovative ideas
into healthier lives. While government funds the Hospital’s operating budget, it is
our donors who provide Mount Sinai funds that allow flexibility and opportunity to
innovate, upgrade, and adapt to rapidly changing healthcare delivery. This generosity is
the bedrock that supports the best care for our patients – now and in the future.
Inside this Report, you will see how the contributions of thousands of people in the
Mount Sinai family have enabled our skilled and compassionate caregivers to continue providing our patients with the best medicine. While we can profile only a few
individuals who have pledged over the last year, we value every dollar from every
donor. Our friends in the community help us fulfill our vision of becoming one of
the country’s leading patient care, teaching, and research hospitals.
Join us as we thank and pay tribute to those who have helped make Mount Sinai
Hospital synonymous with excellence, The Best Medicine.

Seeing Patients in New Ways
Something extraordinary is under construction at Mount Sinai – and it is going to
improve how our doctors provide care. It is the Kimel Family Centre for Advanced
Medical Imaging, a state-of-the-art centre for sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. The Centre has been made possible by an exceptional $ 8-million
pledge from the Kimel family – Manny and Candice, Ron, Warren and Debbie,
and Elkie and Abbie Adler. The Kimel family first contributed to the Hospital in
ı988 in honour of their late mother, Eva Kimel, who was a grateful patient at
Mount Sinai. Over the years they have supported both Mount Sinai’s Nuclear
Medicine and mri facility – so this transformational gift is a generous extension
of their continuing interest and commitment. The revitalized facility will not only
transform the face of medical imaging, but will revolutionize our doctors’ and
technicians’ ability to find, diagnose, and treat disease earlier.
This advanced technology, including two updated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mri)
machines and a brand new Computerized Tomography (ct ) scanner, allows physicians
like Dr. Larry White to see inside the human body with powerful new tools.
These include clearer, sharper images, allowing for faster and more accurate diagnosis
and treatment. In addition, this sophisticated equipment will improve patient care
through faster turn-around times and improved privacy and comfort.
With a state-of-the-art facility like the Kimel Family Centre for Advanced Medical
Imaging, we can see our patients in important new ways to provide them with the
most effective care, with The Best Medicine.
Dr. Tony Pawson with
Wolf and Joseph Lebovic
Laying the Foundation for Discovery
Rising behind Mount Sinai is the impressive Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Research
Centre, a building that symbolizes Mount Sinai’s position as a highly respected
academic research hospital. Housing a variety of research and clinical centres, this
campus was made possible through a transformational $6-million gift from Joseph
and Wolf Lebovic, two of the Hospital’s most magnanimous donors.
For more than two decades, Mount Sinai has been the grateful recipient of their
generosity – a cumulative gift of $ ı6 million. Together with their father, the late
Harry Lebovic, Joseph and Wolf founded Lebovic Enterprises in ı953. They hope
to inspire others to give. Joseph says, “I really get so much pleasure from giving this
money away…people should know giving doesn’t hurt… It’s a good investment.”
The Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Research Centre, eloquent testament to their
continued support, will house the Toronto Centre for Phenogenomics, a partnership
of four Toronto teaching hospitals. This unique facility is dedicated to biological
research using mice to determine the genetic basis of disease and cures in humans.
This Centre will advance the Hospital’s renowned Samuel Lunenfeld Research
Institute, led by the remarkable Dr. Tony Pawson, who this year alone has won
three prestigious awards for his innovative genome research, which will ultimately
provide solutions on a grand scale.
The Lebovics’ generosity will speed the process of genetic discoveries and their
application to disease, translating from “bench” to “bedside.” Ultimately, this improves
care for our patients, enabling us to offer The Best Medicine.
Ira Gluskin and
Maxine Granovsky-Gluskin with
Dr. David Tannenbaum
The Mark of Family Medicine: Relationships Begin Here
A key to ensuring your own good health comes from forming a trusted relationship
with your family physician. In the case of Ira Gluskin and Maxine GranovskyGluskin, that bond with Dr. Warren Rubenstein led them to pledge $3 million to
our Department of Family Medicine – one of the largest and most respected
centres of its kind in Canada.
“No doctors in Canada are doing this to get rich – especially family doctors,” says
Ira. “There’s no prestige associated with family medicine, really, and it’s a real
sacrifice for them. They put in a lot of hours and our society will benefit by having
more family doctors take care of us.”
As devoted philanthropists, both Ira and Maxine are valuable supporters of the
Mount Sinai family. Their most recent gift testifies to that commitment, and their
belief in the fundamental importance of family-based medical care.
The Granovsky-Gluskin Centre for Best Practice in Family Medicine, led by
Dr. David Tannenbaum, will be housed in the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Building.
It will bring together Family Health Teams, including research and clinical care,
enabling family doctors to apply the latest scientific breakthroughs, at Mount Sinai
and elsewhere, to their patients.
An exciting model of multidisciplinary care with teams of physicians, nurses, allied
health professionals, support staff, and volunteers, the new Granovsky-Gluskin
Centre for Best Practice in Family Medicine will be a warm, welcoming environment
for all patients and their families, a place where they will receive The Best Medicine.
Al Green, Dr. Bernard Zinman,
and Malka Green
ARMed with Information
Two of Toronto’s leading philanthropists and long-time supporters of the Hospital
are Al and Malka Green, who have been part of the Mount Sinai family for more
than 2o years.
Al wanted to make a gift that would benefit diabetes patients. To that end, the
Greens’ contribution launched an advanced electronic record keeping system – the
Ambulatory Records Management System, known simply as arms – which has
already started in the Leadership Sinai Centre for Diabetes.
The new arms system gives nurses and physicians, like Dr. Bernard Zinman, Division
Head of the Leadership Sinai Centre for Diabetes, immediate access to patients’
entire case histories and medical data. Having such complete and immediate
information allows health care providers to focus much more time and energy
on their patients. In addition, arms offers co-ordinated booking of lab, imaging,
and specialist appointments. For patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, who
require multiple medical visits, this advancement means appointments are easily
co-ordinated, avoiding undue scheduling stress and encouraging faster access.
As a result of the Greens’ latest generous donation, Mount Sinai now stands as a
leader in the rapid advancement from a paper-based record system to an easily
accessible, computerized database of information. This is just one essential part of
providing The Best Medicine.
Barry and Honey Sherman with
Dr. Edward Keystone
Honouring Two Pioneering Doctors
It’s a perfect match: two generous donors honouring two pioneering doctors.
As strong supporters of research, Barry and Honey Sherman, among Canada’s leading philanthropists, paid tribute to the work and careers of Dr. Allan Gross and Dr.
Edward Keystone, two of North America’s leading specialists in orthopaedics and
arthritis, respectively, with a $ ı-million gift toward their breakthrough research.
Associated with Mount Sinai Hospital for 33 years, Dr. Allan Gross has developed
advances in orthopaedic transplantation that are now standard practice in operating
rooms around the world. As a pioneer in surgical repair of the hip and bone,
Dr. Gross draws patients and surgeons alike from all over the world to learn and
benefit from his revolutionary techniques. A visit to Dr. Gross has come to mean
an improved quality of life for countless grateful patients.
Dr. Edward Keystone is one of the great champions of new treatments for arthritis
and other autoimmune diseases. Among many other positions and honours, he
is the Chairman of the Canadian Rheumatology Research Consortium, founder of
the Arthritis and Autoimmunity Research Centre, and Director of the Rebecca
Macdonald Centre for Arthritis and Autoimmune Disease at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Advancements in research generated through his work have come to mean an
easier, more manageable way of life for thousands of arthritis sufferers.
Benefits of the Shermans’ gift and the work of Drs. Gross and Keystone will be felt
by patients receiving The Best Medicine in the community, and – given the sharing
of medical advances – around the world, for years to come.
Auxiliary President
Heather Gotlieb and
Nurse Janis Manes
A Labour of Love
Every year, more than 7,ooo babies are born at Mount Sinai, making ours the
busiest obstetrics unit in the country. So it shouldn’t be any surprise that North
America’s largest hospital Auxiliary has embraced Women’s and Infants’ Health,
a cause dear to the hearts of its members.
With its $ 6-million pledge recently fulfilled under the leadership of President
Heather Gotlieb, the Auxiliary has set an ambitious new goal to raise $3.5 million –
and named it, fittingly, Healthy Babies. Proceeds will support nurses like Janis
Manes, by providing new fetal monitors and physical improvements for the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, as well as supporting fetal and neonatal research at the Samuel
Lunenfeld Research Institute. These funds will have an enormous impact on the
provision of high-quality patient care – in this case, for our youngest, most vulnerable
patients – for which Mount Sinai Hospital is known.
The Auxiliary is truly the heart of the Mount Sinai family, offering its continued
support with enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication to ensure the very best patient
care. The Auxiliary, the oldest in Canada, has raised more than $22 million since
its inception more than 5o years ago – an achievement built on collective energy
and shared vision. Without a doubt, its success will give thousands of high-risk
newborns The Best Medicine, and a better chance at a healthy start in life.

Dr. Allison McGeer, and

of Leadership Sinai
Leading the Way
Leadership Sinai is a respected and energetic member of the Mount Sinai family.
A program to attract and engage younger people, both emotionally and financially,
Leadership Sinai encourages community leaders and young professionals to get
involved in philanthropy and in Mount Sinai. This network of talented, committed
men and women represents fresh Mount Sinai leadership, and has produced some
of our most influential senior volunteers serving on Boards and Committees.
Led by its President, Jordan Sarick, Leadership Sinai raises funds to meet the
Hospital’s needs through membership and a lively roster of events ranging from
galas to golf tournaments to speakers’ series that mix philanthropy with fun.
They know that the very heart of The Best Medicine is a promise to be here when
our patients need us most. That’s why Leadership Sinai has committed $ ı million
to support Mount Sinai’s Highest Priorities, which will provide the financial capacity
to respond to our most urgent healthcare needs, especially in times of crisis.
Another ambitious program is helping the Hospital play an increasingly vital
role in the struggle against infectious diseases. The Leadership Sinai Centre for
Infection Control, headed by Dr. Donald Low and Dr. Allison McGeer, strives
to prevent the spread of infectious disease, as well as implementing preventative
actions to help keep the community safe.
Leadership Sinai is having a wide-reaching and long-lasting impact. While
successfully generating support for The Best Medicine, its members’ enthusiasm
helps cultivate the newest Mount Sinai leaders.
