The Cause
The next goal is ambitious. SMYL is raising $1,000,000 in support of HUMANCARE and the Paradigm Project, St. Michael's Hospital-wide campaign to reinvent the patient care experience.
HUMANCARE is changing how clinicians and staff deliver medicine, how they conduct research, how they educate students and how they harness data and AI all to make healthcare more human.
As part of HUMANCARE, the Paradigm Project will harness big data and AI to reinvent the patient experience. It will bring together the world's best data scientists, clinicians and hospital administrators in a living lab to work collaboratively on hospital challenges. And it will position St. Michael's as the global leader in designing and deploying AI health solutions to power HUMANCARE.
St. Michael's Young Leaders (SMYL)
St. Michael's Young Leaders (SMYL) is a group of fierce young professionals who raise funds for St. Michael's Hospital through four action-packed annual events: THE BROKER, THE CARE CUP, AND THE DODGER. Since launching in 2008, they've stock picked, volleyed and dodged their way to over $2.2 million.
