The Ottawa Hospital's 2009 annual report is another innovation from Ontario's busiest teaching hospital. We want to be in touch with our community as often as possible and this year our annual report helps us communicate faster, easier and with more people than ever before.

We've saved money by opting for a paperless product that provides readers with more options for saving, printing and even sharing the information in the report from their own computer. Fast and efficient, this sustainable annual report is kind to the environment and demonstrates a very user-friendly approach to innovative thinking because at TOH not all of our innovation takes place in the lab or operating room.

We've included a wide variety of information about our hospital and its management, our people and their work and a snapshot of some of our medical successes. We've also included real voices from some patients who have been part of groundbreaking and inspiring stories at TOH.

Facts and figures are supported with snapshots that include our medical teams, volunteers, staff and patients.
