The medical community's concern for adolescents has increased in recent years. It was high time! For this is a population that experiences a complexity of familial and personal problems whose consequences – which are considerable – shape the adults they will become. Support from donors in establishing the new Adolescent Medicine Clinic will help us leverage our expertise, recognized throughout Canada, to enhance our impact. Thank you for caring about our adolescents.

— Dr. Julius Erdstein Director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Administrative Head of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology
