After 46 fabulous years as a porter at SickKids, Paul Ouksouzoglou is making his biggest move yet – retirement! At SickKids Paul did much more than deliver packages: he shared his heartwarming smiles and caring nature with colleagues and kids. Congrats Paul! #SKPeeps

At SickKids, we try to make sure every family has an opportunity to make special memories. Thomas and Nathan are nearly too cute to spook in their Waldo and Mickey Mouse costumes! #Halloween #SKChildLife

ICYMI: Thanks to #SickKidsCrew Medical Engineering for restoring ventilators that were in storage at the hospital. As children aren’t affected by #COVID19 as severely as adults, SickKids loaned the ventilators to @UHN , the host site for the provincial stockpile, for distribution.

Today, we reflect on the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We remember The Queen’s historic visits to SickKids, including this day in 1951, when staff and patients welcomed the then-Princess to SickKids’ “new” hospital at 555 University Ave.

#FeelGoodFriday : Flashback to when @VancityReynolds surprised SickKids patients with a virtual visit through our CCTV! Broadcast to patient rooms across the hospital, Ryan chatted with patients about making movies, his 3 daughters & his love of thin-crust pizza. #COVIDKindness
