Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital says it plans to create ‘world’s leading’ MS centre
TORONTO — A Toronto hospital says it plans to create the world’s leading treatment and research centre for multiple sclerosis.
St. Michael’s Hospital says the BARLO MS Centre will occupy the entire top two floors — about 2,300 square metres — of a 17-storey tower under construction at the downtown Toronto facility.
The hospital says it already has the largest multiple sclerosis clinic in Canada, with about 7,000 patients, and is home to some of the world’s leading MS clinicians and researchers.
The $30-million BARLO MS Centre is expected to open in 2020 and focus on patient-centred, personalized care and applying and generating leading-edge research.
