Academic Strategic Plan 2018\u20132023<\/a>. It was this ambitious, community-informed vision that first inspired James and Louise\u2019s landmark gift.<\/p>\nOver the last five years, the Temerty family\u2019s\u2019 support has advanced machine learning in medicine, catalyzed biomedical research across Toronto\u2019s health-science network, fostered innovation and entrepreneurship, expanded equity and accessibility in medical education, and is enabling construction of the new state-of-the-art Temerty Building. Their gift also established a Dean\u2019s COVID-19 Priority Fund which allowed the Faculty to respond swiftly to the urgent challenges of the global pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cJames and Louise Temerty\u2019s landmark gift has propelled the Temerty Faculty of Medicine to new heights of global excellence and impact,\u201d said U of T President Melanie Woodin. <\/p>\n
\u201cTheir generosity has driven tremendous progress already over the past five years, in every aspect of the Temerty Faculty\u2019s mission. On behalf of the entire University of Toronto, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Jim and Louise for the new era of learning, discovery and innovation they have set in motion, leading to a healthier future for Canadians and for people everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Louise and I made this gift five years ago, our hope was that it would help the University of Toronto push the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in health research, education and care,\u201d said James Temerty. \u201cWe could not be prouder of all that has been accomplished since then. We\u2019ve seen discoveries accelerated, collaborations strengthened across hospitals and new generations of students receive the support they need to thrive in medicine. Witnessing this progress has been deeply gratifying and we look forward with great excitement to all the Faculty will achieve in the next five years, and beyond.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five years ago, a landmark $250-million gift from James and Louise Temerty and the Temerty Foundation launched a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":174511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[49,48,84,392],"class_list":{"0":"post-174510","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-healthcare"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
