From Friday's Globe and Mail

Four years ago, Joseph and Wolf Lebovic stunned officials at Mount Sinai Hospital with a $10-million donation -- the largest one-time pledge that the Toronto hospital had ever received.

Now, the brothers from Southern Ontario, who survived the Holocaust and went on to make their fortunes in real-estate development, are poised to give another $50-million to Mount Sinai, the largest single donation ever bestowed on a Canadian hospital.

The Globe and Mail has learned that the donation will be announced today.

The money will be distributed according to the needs of the hospital, but an expansion of the women's and infants' health unit are priorities."
