Just in time for the holidays, The Hospital for Sick Children has released A History of Healing, a commemorative photo book that chronicles SickKids' rich history, present successes and future ambitions. This beautifully-composed history of SickKids captures a photographic record that spans 135 years from the founding of the organization to today. Documented in both black and white and full colour, each photo is described to provide context and insight on the particular situation.

Nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or NICU, provide one-to-one care, 24 hours a day, for critically ill newborns. Care in the NICU is provided by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in many areas. This is a reflection of the increasing complexity of clinical challenges that can result from the survival of sicker infants, the increasing body of scientific knowledge, the feasibility of surgery for many congenital disorders and the increasingly sophisticated technological support available.

The Image-Guided Therapy, or IGT, Centre allows staff to perform interventional radiological and minimally invasive surgical procedures under image guidance. Combined medical, surgical and interventional procedures can be performed in IGT at the same time, thereby reducing the number of times a child may require anesthesia or hospital visits.

In 2007, SickKids established a state-of-the-art cryomicroscopy, or cryo-EM, facility. Cryo-EM is a powerful new method of imaging that overcomes a complexes will help researchers learn more about their involvement in disease processes.major limitation of conventional electron microscopy. With cryo-EM, biological samples are preserved and imaged directly so researchers see an image of a fully hydrated molecule as it is found within a cell or in tissue. Insight into the structures of these multi-protein
