Healing today. Creating tomorrow.
From trauma care to the latest cancer treatments to our neuroscience excellence — we’re strengthening our expertise to transform critical care here at home and across the globe.
It's time to take our place as a global leader in transforming critical care.
Some patients travel hundreds — and even thousands — of kilometres to receive our world-leading care, whether it’s complex, lifesaving surgeries, neurosurgery expertise, or cancer care excellence at one of the largest and best-equipped cancer treatment centres in the region.
Looking forward, we will seamlessly merge research and clinical care to bring the most cutting-edge treatments directly to our patients. Here’s how:
A new home for world-leading neuroscience
Today, we are internationally recognized for our groundbreaking work in multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson’s, with patients from all over seeking our expertise.
With a new, dedicated hub for one of the strongest research and care teams in the world, we’ll see even more breakthroughs in acute neurology, neurosurgery, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson’s.
Here’s just one example where integrating research and care has allowed us to improve and save lives:
World-class trauma and emergency care
As the only Level 1 Trauma Centre for adults in eastern Ontario, we serve 1.3 million people regionally and as far away as Nunavut.
At our new hospital, dedicated access routes for ambulances and a rooftop helipad leading to high-speed elevators will bring patients directly to our Trauma Centre — saving critical time and even more lives.

A cure for every cancer
We believe every cancer can be beaten. Today, we’re seeing breakthroughs that a decade ago seemed impossible. Tomorrow, we’ll continue to boldly explore novel therapies with our sights set on making all cancers a thing of the past.
See how your support helps us focus on precise and personalized therapies that treat the whole person — not just the cancer. But this is only the beginning. Through leading research, our experts will collaboratively harness their expertise to develop game-changing treatments.
We are home to one of best-equipped cancer treatment centres and one of the most advanced cancer research programs in the country.
We are leading the first made-in-Canada clinical trial of genetically engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) to treat cancer. CAR-T is a game changer in the treatment of leukemia and other blood cancers.
Leading acute mental health care
With two psychiatric emergency services, 90+ inpatient beds — more than any other facility in the region — a day hospital program, outpatient services, and a mobile services program, we’re the region’s largest provider of mental health care.
In the future, we’ll provide a full range of acute mental health services, like a new Psychiatric Emergency Service, improved inpatient care, state-of-the-art outpatient clinics, and therapeutic spaces for wellness and healing.
The experts behind our care
One of the biggest advantages of the Ottawa Hospital is that all of us are connected. We are more advanced because we’re able to work as a group. We have brought all the expertise under one umbrella here.
Donor support allows our cancer experts to deliver the best care while we work to discover and test new and better ways to eradicate cancers. I believe one day every cancer will be cured, and I’m inspired by the research happening right here at our hospital.
The Ottawa Hospital has a rich tradition of research with a clear focus on practice-changing research. This focus couldn’t resonate more with me as my research is only as valuable as the impact it might have on people’s lives.
