Vision and Purpose
Vision
Exceptional care. For everyone. In every critical moment. Without exception.
Purpose
To inspire a visionary community of donors and volunteers to help our hospitals drive life-saving research breakthroughs, provide state-of-the-art facilities, deliver equitable care to all, and tackle some of the world’s toughest health challenges.
Our New Logo
Founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1892, St. Michael’s Hospital—now part of the Unity Health Toronto network—has a storied legacy of compassionate care. To honour its roots, we are incorporating Unity Health’s signature wing symbol—representing both an angel and a dove—as a tribute to the Sisters’ founding mission of caring for all. The vertical elements in the design symbolize potential and growth, reflecting our ongoing commitment to progress and hope.
