Our goal

$250,000

Courtesy of our collective experiences with the untimely loss of a loved one, we have come to recognize and appreciate how vital support resources are to grieving families. Too often, hospitals are ill equipped to provide assistance or guidance, leaving vulnerable families on their own to navigate the emotional and logistical journey.

This is a big problem with a relatively simple solution. 

 

Hospitals know they need to play a bigger and better role in the bereavement process and we are proud to work alongside Mt. Sinai to change things. With the support of individuals like yourself we are building a bereavement program at Mt Sinai Hospital that will encompass a more proactive and inclusive lens.

 
We ask for your help in supporting our hospitals to play a larger role in the bereavement process, especially for those with less access to the necessary resources.

Our Beginnings:


Mount Sinai Hospital was founded in 1923 by an historically underserved immigrant community.

In 2015, Sinai Health was formed

Voluntary amalgamation of:

  • Mount Sinai Hospital
  • HennickBridgepoint Hospital
  • Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute
  • Circle of Care

Driven by a shared vision to provide excellent care across the arc of life and to shape the future of care to respond to emerging needs.
Current state: What is needed

  1. Proactive support for family and loved ones
  2. Education and self-assessment tools to navigate grief
  3. Barrier-free access to low, medium and high acuity interventions
  4. Public Education to increase ‘grief literacy’and to optimize community supports for grieving people
  5. Professional education and capacitybuilding within acute and community healthcare settings to support optimal identification of at-risk bereaved
  6. Leveraging of technology to support selfassessment, risk-identification and engagement in care.
