Sunnybrook Foundation reports that 10,000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in Ontario. In addition, it reports that 700 infants are stillborn each year in Ontario. In F2018, Sunnybrook Foundation granted $18m to Sunnybrook Hospital and $12m to Sunnybrook Research Institute.
Sunnybrook Foundation funds Sunnybrook Research Institute in order to improve treatments and equipment to provide better patient care. The charity reports that, in F2018, Sunnybrook Research Institute conducted $99m worth of research. In F2018, the institute employed 1,353 research staff, of which there were 323 scientists and clinician-scientists, as well as 5 Canada research chairs. Sunnybrook Research Institute hosts many specialized research labs, including the Integrated Cancer Research Biomatrix and the Imaging Research Centre for Cardiac Intervention. Sunnybrook Foundation grants money to the hospital to support equipment, patient care, as well as education and training for staff, physicians, and patients. The charity reports that it performs around 2,400 joint replacement surgeries annually, which is the highest volume of hip and knee joint arthroplasty at any facility in Canada.

Results and Impact
In F2017, Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) reports that a team, which included scientist Dr. Ali Sadeghi-Naini and Dr. Greg Czarnota, director of the Odette Cancer Research Program at SRI, recruited 78 women, with suspicious lesions, from the Marion C. Soloway Breast Rapid Diagnostic Unit (RDU) at the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre. They then used a tool to distinguish benign lesions from malignant tumors, crosschecking their results with biopsy results and MRI scans. They found that the quantitative ultrasound results were over 90 per cent accurate.
In addition, in F2017 a new MRI-guided brachytherapy suite, the only one of its kind in the world, was added to Sunnybrook Hospital. Radiation oncologist Dr. Eric Leong, who co-leads the Brachytherapy program stated, “it’s now a faster procedure, taking about two-and-a-half hours compared to eight to 10 hours.”
