helping individuals return to their community
and return to living their lives.
The Bickle Centre is committed to helping
patients from all walks of life make strides
in achieving and sustaining wellness, and in
managing chronic conditions. Our clinical teams
are devoted to the individual needs of the patients
and their families and are deeply committed to
providing the best possible care.
In 2016, the Bickle Centre embarked on major
redevelopment to enhance accessibility, to enable
the use of new and innovative technologies for
patient care, and to establish a nocturnal dialysis
unit - the first of its kind in Ontario in a complex
continuing care setting for patients with late-stage
renal disease.
Our donor community has stepped forward in a
profound way to enable this redevelopment. In
early 2016, BMO Financial Group committed
$1M toward the project. This visionary
investment will not only help transform the Bickle
Centre, it will dramatically improve the lives of
countless individuals now and in the future.
“We are very privileged and proud to support the
campaign for Toronto Rehab. Our investment
in The Bickle Centre, which has always had
a stellar reputation for its breakthrough work
in rehabilitation and patient care, will allow
it to continue helping patients reach their full
potential”, says Nada Ristich, Director, Corporate
Donations, BMO Financial Group.
