North York General Foundation

The time has finally come 📣 We are thrilled to announce North York General’s transformational new ad campaign: ‘Here for Life.’ Whether it be the birth of a baby, the rush for emergency care or the emotional impact of hearing a diagnosis ‑ we at #NYGH understand that many of life’s biggest moments occur in the blink of an eye. And many will occur within our hospital. “Here for Life.” is anchored in our belief that while life can change very quickly, the caring and compassionate people behind NYGH are here with you for all of it. This is NYGH like you’ve never seen before. In the coming weeks and beyond, you'll notice many of our real physicians, staff and patients featured in the campaign. Our aim is to capture the authentic spirit of NYGH and to invite North York and the world to engage with our hospital in an entirely new way. Share what you think in the comments below! Please enjoy our launch video and check out more at https://lnkd.in/gnGkTfmg. Keep an eye out for much more to come. #HereForLifeNYGH
