Description

The Ottawa Hospital is a non-profit, public university teaching hospital in Ottawa, Canada. The hospital is made up of the former Grace Hospital, Riverside Hospital, Ottawa General Hospital and Ottawa Civic Hospital. It is a 1,117-bed academic health sciences centre affiliated with the University of Ottawa, and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute is located at the hospital's Civic Campus. The Ottawa Hospital is also one of two trauma centres in Eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. The other is Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario accommodating juvenile and adolescent patients.HistoryThe Ottawa Civic Hospital was built in the 1920s to replace three aging hospitals: the Carleton County Protestant General Hospital on Rideau Street (now Wallis House), which dated from the 1870s, as well as Ottawa Maternity and St. Luke’s hospitals. In 1921, the construction of the Civic hospital was estimated to cost $1,500,000.The hospital was championed largely by Harold Fisher following the 1918 flu pandemic. While the facility is today located in an urban location, Fisher faced ridicule at the time for advocating for a location in the then-countryside and the project was branded by some as "Fisher's Folly". It opened on December 17, 1924 with 550 beds.
