Precision Child Health:
The Future in Motion
The cresting wave of SickKids 2030 is Precision Child Health and the end of one-size-fits-all medicine. And that future is already in motion. We’ve laid the groundwork vision — rooted in cutting-edge care and groundbreaking science, driven by data, powered by people.
SickKids 2030 will scale this vision to enable individualized care — shortening diagnostic odysseys and expanding the impact of research breakthroughs. Moving precision medicine from possibility towards practice for every patient, every family.
Faster diagnoses. Better predictions. Treatments that fit each patient.
This is more than progress —
it’s a movement. And together,
SickKids 2030 is driving it forward.

Strategic directions
Elevate quality and the care experience
Our quality and care objectives
What would it take to set a new global standard for paediatric care?
Care isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. To achieve a next-generation experience, we will reimagine care to ensure that every child and family feels seen, heard, and supported. By championing equity and addressing the whole child and family—mind, body, spirit, and social context—we will create a seamless, safe, and inclusive SickKids. On the strength of partnership, we will connect health journeys that not only respond to diverse needs, but also enhance access, proactively eliminate harm, and improve outcomes for all.

Create an exceptional employee experience
Our employee experience objectives
How can we ensure every member of the SickKids team feels valued and equipped to thrive?
We know that patient, family, and employee experience are inextricably linked; so, when it comes to experience, we will strive to make every day exceptional.
Together, we will redesign the employee experience from recruitment to retirement, prioritizing training, professional development, competitive compensation, strong benefits and pensions, and recognition in all its forms. Sustaining a focus on employee health and psychological safety, we will create a safer, future proofed SickKids team. And we will take the pebbles from the shoes of our staff, eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, automating redundant tasks, and leveraging AI to unleash the talent of our people.
Advance the era of Precision Child Health
Our Precision Child Health objectives
What if health care could be tailored to every child’s unique needs?
The Precision Child Health movement has already made significant strides; however, our journey is far from over and our determination to realize individualized care for every child remains unwavering.
Unifying our people, culture, data, and processes, we will foster a learning network that encourages the free flow of ideas and expertise. Supported by deep engagement of patients and families in all that we do, representation of the diverse population we serve in our research, and revitalization of clinical research services, we will leave the one-size-fits-all era of health care in the rear-view mirror.

Accelerate foundations for innovation
Our innovation objectives
How can innovation be woven into our everyday work?
Project Horizon, our ambitious redevelopment journey, will not only reimagine our campus but also fundamentally change the ways we work. Calibrating campus redevelopment to cutting edge models of clinical care, research, and education, we will transform 100-year-old buildings into engines of innovation.
Progress will be fueled by SickKids AI, a trail blazing program that will revolutionize paediatric health services through responsible AI. In the space of AI and beyond, an intensifying focus on research will accelerate discovery and translation to real-world applications, moving the needle where it matters most—at the point of impact for children, youth, and families.
