Upon completion of this web project, we’ll deliver a first-class web experience that will allow clients, families, volunteers, donors and other community stakeholders to get the information they need and when they need it, and share it with their friends and family.”

Holland Bloorview is a leading research and academic teaching hospital that serves children, youth, and families with disability and medical complexity.
