Reports to: Senior Project Manager, Clinical Reinvention

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is widely recognized as one of the world's leading children's hospitals, a pioneer in healthcare, research, education, and training. Building on our rich history and track record, as we look to the future, SickKids requires significant investment in facilities, equipment, and information technology to meet the changing needs of our patients and families and maintain the level of service for which we are globally recognized.

In 2015, SickKids launched Project Horizon, a long-term plan for the renewal of the SickKids campus and the foundation for an integrated and seamless paediatric healthcare system. Project Horizon is a multi-year, phased redevelopment initiative designed to transform the delivery of paediatric care, address future growth requirements, and replace aging infrastructure. Through strategic investments in facilities, technology, and new models of care, Project Horizon will help ensure SickKids can continue to deliver world-class, specialized paediatric care for generations to come.

Following completion of the Patient Support Centre (PSC), Project Horizon continues to advance a multi-phased redevelopment strategy that includes new construction, major renovations, infrastructure renewal, and operational transformation initiatives across the SickKids campus. Current priorities include the Ambulatory Care Tower (ACT), prioritized Early Works projects, operational readiness planning, and activities supporting future phases of redevelopment.

The construction and renovation of these facilities represent only one aspect of the transformation. Project Horizon is also focused on advancing new models of care, enhancing operational effectiveness, enabling innovation through technology, and fostering meaningful engagement with patients, families, staff, physicians, learners, researchers, and partners.

Benefits Of These Changes Include

• Enhanced environments that support innovation and excellence in clinical care, education, and research
• Improved quality, safety, and patient outcomes
