Good things come in threes, so the saying goes, and Robert A. (Bob) Rubinoff would agree. So when he heard about the new triplet rooms during a presentation on Right from the Start: Mount Sinai Hospital’s Campaign for Women’s and Infants’ Health, he recognized the opportunity to make a unique donation.

Triplet births are on the rise in Canada and at Mount Sinai, with the Hospital welcoming approximately 20 sets of triplets into the world each year. This increase is reflected in the design of the expanded Lawrence and Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women’s and Infants’ Health, currently under construction on top of the Hospital’s Murray Street tower. Each triplet suite will accommodate three isolettes and two day-beds, promoting the kind of family involvement that is so integral to the nurturing of fragile babies.

“I want to keep helping the Hospital, and being able to name a triplet suite appealed to me,” says Mr. Rubinoff, a dedicated supporter and member of the Hospital’s Board of Directors and Vice Chairman of the Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation.

In fact, Mr. Rubinoff was so inspired by the opportunity to support triplet rooms that he decided to donate $1.5 million in order to name three Mount Sinai triplet suites.
