To ensure that patients receive the best possible care, and to use resources as efficiently as possible, TOH consolidates services at its three main campuses. TOH was formed in 1998 through the merger of four existing hospitals: the Civic, General, Riverside and Grace. The Royal Ottawa Hospital’s Psychiatric Emergency Services were transferred to TOH, as were The Grace Hospital’s Medical/Surgery Services.
The Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre and Rehabilitation Centre were integrated into TOH in 2004 and 2005 to complete the new hospital.
The University of Ottawa Heart Institute—Canada’s largest and foremost cardiovascular health centre—is a subsidiary of TOH.
