In the seven years since Unity Health Toronto became a network, we have worked to drive system transformation and improve patient care by harnessing the collective power of our individual sites to create the best care experiences, together. Unity Health’s 2023-24 Annual Report highlights the ways we have leveraged the connection of our communities to be leaders in our areas of world class specialty care, artificial intelligence and health equity. Because of these communities, we have accomplished many things: having our trauma program verified as a Level 1 Trauma Centre by the American College of Surgeons, preparing for our new Electronic Patient Record, and taking meaningful steps to promote equity and to make sure everyone who works at and enters our sites feels welcomed, respected and included. This report features the hard work and dedication of so many staff, physicians, learners, volunteers and patient family partners, and tells the stories of the incredible patients and families who have sought care at our sites. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Unity Health’s achievements this year. None of it would be possible without you. Read the Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/dMM23Dfr

Nearly 20 years ago, Audrey Gouskos came through the St. Michael's Hospital Emergency Department unable to walk. She had trouble breathing and would be intubated for six weeks. This was the beginning of her journey with a rare disease known as dermatomyositis. Affecting approximately one in 100,000 people, myositis is an umbrella term for a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Unity Health Toronto is home to a first-of-its-kind rehabilitation pathway in Ontario where a team of clinicians in rheumatology and neurology at St. Michael’s and in rehabilitation at Providence Healthcare are working together to support patients, like Audrey, with myositis to receive treatment and rehabilitation to manage their symptoms. “For me it’s been about not letting the disease take over and showing my son that with the right attitude you can’t always beat things, but you can cope,” she says. Learn more about this new clinical pathway at Unity Health: https://lnkd.in/gibmPYEa
