1. Introduction<br />
Outst<strong>and</strong>ing patient care, research <strong>and</strong><br />
lifelong learning made <strong>2014</strong>/<strong>15</strong><br />
memorable <strong>and</strong> successful for<br />
<strong>Sunnybrook</strong> <strong>and</strong> for the 1.2 million<br />
patients <strong>and</strong> families the Hospital cared<br />
for when it matters most. A significant<br />
highlight from the last year was the<br />
development of Strategic Plan 20<strong>15</strong> –<br />
2018. The plan points <strong>Sunnybrook</strong><br />
toward the future by providing a road map<br />
for how the organization will move forward<br />
its mission <strong>and</strong> vision, while also balancing<br />
the Hospital’s dual role as a teaching <strong>and</strong><br />
research hospital with a defined<br />
community to serve.<br />

<strong>Sunnybrook</strong> outweighs the Hospital’s<br />

inpatient occupancy levels, which often<br />
exceed 100 per cent, to move toward a<br />
more manageable 95 per cent.<br />
Preparation <strong>and</strong> readiness were two<br />
dominant themes during <strong>2014</strong>/<strong>15</strong>.<br />

case. Staff also worked diligently to<br />
