New Campus Development

Our new hospital campus will be home to one of the most modern and technologically advanced academic research hospitals in Canada — the catalyst to reshaping the future of healthcare in our community and beyond, for generations.

It’s more than just a building.

Our bold plan includes not only a world-class healthcare centre, but a continuously evolving space for innovation and state-of-the-art technology that brings the latest medical advances and research breakthroughs to the bedside.

It will be designed to enhance the patient experience and provide the very highest standard of care.

Together, we are turning a vision into reality.

Community support has already propelled this historic project forward, helping lay the foundation of a stronger, smarter, and more connected healthcare system. But there is still important work ahead.

With your support, we will turn this vision into reality and create a better tomorrow.

This new campus will help reshape the future of healthcare in our community and prepare us for the next century of care, innovation, and discovery.

Reshaping care across our region and beyond

We’re reshaping how care is delivered across our region. Our approach reaches far beyond the new campus and into the community to create a stronger, smarter, and more connected healthcare system that serves patients before, during, and long after their hospital stay.

Through regional partnerships, community initiatives, and cutting-edge technology, we are breaking down barriers in healthcare. Every step forward strengthens a system that is more connected, more responsive, and better equipped to meet the needs of patients today and to create the possibilities of tomorrow.

More than a hospital

The new campus is the foundation of a broader model of care that improves access, strengthens community-based services, and supports patients in hospital and beyond.

Pioneering a “smart” future

The new campus is being designed to integrate advanced technology and digital tools that support more proactive, coordinated, and patient-centred care.

Creating a connected healthcare journey

Care at the new hospital is designed to support patients before, during, and after their hospital stay, enabling smoother transitions and more coordinated care.

Community partnerships

Through partnerships with more than 21 satellite locations across Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and Nunavut, we are expanding access to specialized care closer to home and strengthening care across the region.

Leadership in home care

Planning for the new campus reflects a growing focus on caring for patients beyond hospital walls, supporting models that extend care into the community and home.

Transitional and long-term care

The new campus is part of a broader approach to ensuring patients can move more smoothly from hospital care to the next stage of recovery, with continued clinical support where needed.

Building capacity in the community

By reshaping how and where care is delivered, the new campus supports a more flexible healthcare system that improves access and capacity across the region.

SINGLE-PATIENT ROOMS

With space for loved ones to stay overnight and a private, accessible bathroom, patients will have privacy and comfort that support healing.

Each room will be equipped with advanced digital tools that will connect patients with their care team, personal health information, and appointments — all while helping them to stay in touch with loved ones.

INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

We’ll continue to focus on recruiting a diverse workforce and providing dignified and compassionate care to patients of any age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious background, or socioeconomic status.

The Ottawa Hospital is guided by an Indigenous Peoples Advisory Circle (the Circle) to ensure care spaces are culturally safe and free of discrimination. With an evolving membership of First Nation, Inuit and Métis leaders, health experts, organizations and health service providers, the Circle identifies reconciliatory priorities at TOH and informs design and development planning for the new campus.

It's time to create a better tomorrow.

“Great healthcare is a cornerstone of every truly great city. Not just to treat illness or emergencies — but to power innovation, attract world-leading talent, fuel economic growth, and strengthen the very fabric of our community. This is Ottawa’s moment to lead.”
