The Campaign to Create Tomorrow
A once-in-a-generation campaign to build one of the most technologically advanced research hospitals in the country — right here in Ottawa.
It's time to create a better tomorrow.
A new era of healthcare is unfolding — one defined by smarter technologies, compassionate care, and treatments once thought impossible. To meet this moment, we need a hospital built for the future.
The Campaign to Create Tomorrow is a bold, once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform healthcare in our region and beyond. Together, we are building one of the most technologically advanced research hospitals in the country.
The new campus will help reduce wait times, modernize how care is delivered, integrate advanced digital tools, and accelerate breakthroughs that bring discoveries from the lab to patients faster — improving lives here at home and around the world.
This extraordinary campaign is supported by a community of visionaries, caregivers, and donors like you. Together, we are Creating Tomorrow.
Healthcare reaches further when we build for the future.
Every day, our hospital cares for the most critically ill and injured patients across Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and as far away as Nunavut. As the population grows and ages, the demand grows with it.
A region of 1.4M people
The new campus will be a catalyst for a stronger, more connected model of care, building on The Ottawa Hospital’s existing network of 22 satellite locations, which provide specialized care across the region.
Care, where it's needed
Early and preventative community-based services, hospital-based care for the most critically ill, long-term care, and home care — all connected.
Discovery to bedside
Smart tools and digital systems let clinicians work faster and more collaboratively, moving research from the lab to patients in record time.
The foundations for the future of care.

We're proud to be part of this. But we can't do it alone.
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.
With your support, we will build a new, world-class hospital. We’ll expand research that changes lives. We’ll create space for the next generation of care. And we’ll do it right here. At home. In Ottawa.
