Patient and Family Advisors share their unique thoughts and perspectives to ensure the voices of patients and families are heard, considered and included in North York General's programs and plans for the future. Councils and committees across the hospital include Patient and Family Advisors in their decision-making processes.

We are proud to introduce the newest member of the North York General family. We need your help to pick out a great name for our new little friend. Vote for your favourite name or tell us your suggestions.

North York General is holding its annual Holiday Toy Drive until December 18. You can lift a child's spirits by donating a new, unwrapped toy for a child who will be in the hospital over the holidays. The toys will be distributed by the hospital's own “Santa's Helper”, MPP Michael Coteau, Don Valley East.

Influenza (the “flu”) is a serious viral infection. Patients and visitors can get their free flu shot at North York General's Pharmacy at the General Site. (4001 Leslie Street).

At North York General, we partner with our patients and families; working WITH them instead of doing TO or FOR them. We are learning to see through the eyes of our patients and families so we can make their experience the best it can be.
