A holiday message from the President and CEO
The holidays are a time to give thanks and also reflect on the year that is finishing. This year we are sharing some of the feedback we have received from patients, families and caregivers. 

Thank you to all those at the organization for the excellence with which they treat everyone who comes to North York General. We wish everyone happy holidays and nothing but health for the year ahead.
