Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre or Sunnybrook, is a hospital located in Toronto, Ontario. The origins of Sunnybrook go back to the 1880s. The Sunnybrook campus first opened in 1943 after the land, Sunnybrook Farm was donated by Joseph and Alice M. Kilgour. The Sunnybrook Veterans Hospital opened its doors in June 1948. The hospital merged with Women's College Hospital and the Orthopaedic and Arthritic Hosptial in June 1998 under the provisions of Bill 51, but Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre was deamalgamated in April 2006 to create Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the separate Women's College Hospital. Currently, Sunnybrook maintains two campuses, with its main campus (Sunnybrook Hospital) on Bayview Avenue in North York and the satellite Holland Institute (orthopedic and arthritic care) on Wellesley St. E.

Besides being a research hospital for the University of Toronto (since 1966), the hospital is one of two major trauma centres in Toronto. The Kilgour Wing (K Wing) is a long term care centre with the large majority of patients being war veterans. The hospital was a centre used to handle the wounded after World War II.
