We already know that Toronto’s got some top-notch shopping districts, a solid quality of life and rat or two (aww), and now the city has another title to add to its sash.

Newsweek recently named Toronto General Hospital number seven on its list of the top 10 hospitals in the world.

“TGH, one of eight hospitals that make up Canada’s University Health Network, is also the biggest and most well-funded research organization in the country and the largest transplant center in North America,” the article reads.

The piece notes the hospital’s many “firsts,” including a triple organ transplant (double-lung, liver and pancreas) in 2015 and attributes its leadership in transplantation research and innovation to being the teaching hospital for the University of Toronto.

“TGH is home to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (named for the founder of Barrick Gold, who donated $100 million), a global leader in open-heart surgery and cardiovascular health,” it reads.

It’s comforting to know that should you need it, the care you’ll get at Toronto General is among the greatest in the world.
