You had some questions about endoscopes... So let's talk about it!

We asked a medical device reprocessing technician to answer some of your top questions and comments from our previous video about cleaning endoscopes. Yara gives us an inside look at what it takes to work at UHN's Medical Device Reprocessing Department, supporting world-leading operating rooms, clinics, labs and research centres.

Happy MDRD Week to Yara, and to all MDRD professionals! Thank you for the crucial role you play in providing critical support for safe patient care.

It’s Healthcare Security and Safety Week!

This week, we’re thanking UHN’s Security Operations team for helping keep our hospital sites safe for staff, patients, learners, volunteers and visitors. Security team members support access to our sites, safeguard the privacy of patients, and help everyone feel safe while they are at UHN.

"What I enjoy most about my job is working in a fast-paced environment alongside a diverse team that’s committed to helping others." - Mahdi, Security Guard at UHN’s Toronto Western Hospital.

Thank you to the team for the important work you do every day.

This Sonography Week, we’re celebrating Kulsoom, whose passion for ultrasound has shaped her career at UHN. Now a leading sonographer at UHN's JDMI Biopsy Centre, she supports complex ultrasound-guided procedures while helping train international fellows.

"I enjoy helping train international fellow doctors from around the world and sharing my expertise in sonography with others," says Kulsoom.

Thank you to Kulsoom and sonographers across UHN for the expertise, care and dedication you bring to patients and teams every day.

Did you know oral hygiene is directly linked to your overall health, not just your teeth and gums? 🦷

This National Dental Hygiene Month, we’re recognizing dental hygienists and the role they play in helping patients protect and maintain their oral health across UHN.

As a Dental Hygienist at UHN’s Toronto Rehab, Dorothy helps patients maintain their oral hygiene through education and personalized care recommendations. She works closely with families and care teams to promote daily care practices, provide guidance, and ensure care plans are tailored to patients’ needs.

Heading to UHN? 🛑

Please allow extra travel time when visiting UHN sites on University Avenue including Toronto General Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Toronto Rehab – University Centre. The City of Toronto is conducting watermain and road work.

Northbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane on University Ave. from Armoury St. to College St. until early 2027. Additionally, from Wednesday, October 7 to Friday, October 16, 2026, eastbound traffic on College St. approaching University Ave. will also be reduced to a single lane.

While all UHN sites will remain accessible to vehicles and pedestrians, reduced traffic lanes may cause delays. Patients, families and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and consider subway travel to ensure they arrive on time for appointments and visits.

Housing is health care. 🏠

When UHN opened Dunn House, Canada’s first social medicine housing initiative, it proved this. When we prescribed housing as a part of care, patients experiencing homelessness and complex health challenges saw fewer emergency department visits and shorter hospital stays, showing how stable housing can transform lives.

Today, we’re proud to announce the next phase of social medicine housing with three new developments that will create nearly 200 additional supportive and transitional housing units for UHN patients.

Together with our partners at Build Canada Homes, City of Toronto, Createto and UHN Foundation, we’re expanding access to housing, improving health outcomes, and helping more people get the support they need.

As our population ages, the need for care that reflects the unique needs and goals of older adults continues to grow.

Today, on International Day of Older Persons, we recognize the contributions of older adults, the unique challenges they face, and the dedicated TeamUHN members working to improve care experiences and outcomes for this growing population. Through UHN's Older Adults Action Plan, teams across the organization are working to create more age-friendly spaces, support evidence-based care, and improve experiences for older adults and their caregivers.

At this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day ceremony, TeamUHN gathered at the Michener Gitigan to reflect on what reconciliation looks like.

The ceremony created an opportunity to hear and learn from Indigenous voices, reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonialism and consider our shared responsibility to advance reconciliation.

This work is also reflected in UHN’s approach to health care, from supporting traditional healing practices to increasing Indigenous representation and leadership and strengthening cultural safety.
