A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO
For many of us, the pandemic is starting to feel a lot like a marathon basketball match that’s been forced into endless periods of overtime. Our staff has shown remarkable endurance throughout it all – and I couldn’t be more proud of the home team that is Sinai Health.
Of course, the community at large continues to be a valuable member of that team. Your support is integral to our success and each of us is inspired by you. Now, thanks to Sinai Health Foundation and the Toronto Raptors, we’re offering you the unique opportunity to get on the court and support vital health research.
In partnership with the Toronto Raptors, Sinai Health Foundation is launching Raptors for Research, a premier 3x3 basketball tournament in support of the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute.
Sinai Health understands our role in keeping all of our people safe. We will continue to take all necessary precautions as we plan for March 2022. This event will follow the Ontario government’s public health measures, advice and restrictions outlined by the Plan to Safely Reopen Ontario and Manage COVID-19 for the Long-Term. As an added layer of protection, Dr. Andrew Morris has graciously accepted the role of Medical Advisor for this exciting event. Dr. Morris is the founding Director of the Sinai Health-University Health Network Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and has acted as a consultant to several professional sports leagues and teams in helping them develop their own COVID-19 safety protocols.
We will also closely monitor all developments related to COVID-19 and will actively evaluate the event and implement additional measures as necessary to respond to changes within the community.
See you on the court,
Dr. Gary Newton
President & Chief Executive Officer
Sinai Health
