Runway Runners will bring improvements to busy Emergency Department

Proceeds from the third annual Runway Run will benefit William Osler Health System Foundation’s Experience the Evolution fundraising campaign for Etobicoke General Hospital (EGH).

Why support is needed now

Etobicoke General Hospital’s Emergency Department sees 68,000 patients annually making it one of the busiest in the province. Renovations are urgently needed to provide an increased level of care to very ill patients. Other ongoing physical improvements are needed to help keep wait times among the best in the Greater Toronto Area. These renovations, along with new patient beds, will provide for greater efficiency and a higher level of care to all Emergency patients.

Pearson International Airport often relies on Etobicoke General Hospital to care for our passengers and the Runway Run is a fitting way to give back to the physicians, nurses and technologists who do so much to help others in need.
