Cancer Care at The Ottawa Hospital
The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre is the second-largest cancer services provider in Ontario and among the top five in Canada. It is a fully integrated outpatient clinic of The Ottawa Hospital, where 80% of all cancer surgeries in eastern Ontario are performed. In fact, more than half of all patients at The Ottawa Hospital are being treated for cancer and cancer follow-up.
The Ottawa Hospital is the cornerstone of cancer care in our region, delivering a full range of cancer services, including prevention, screening, diagnosis, surgery and treatment (chemotherapy and radiation), as well as palliative and supportive care. It is also among Canada’s leading sites for clinical trials into the effectiveness of alternative and emerging cancer therapies.
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation raises funds to help improve patient care and acquire equipment for The Ottawa Hospital (Civic, General, and Riverside campuses) and to enable groundbreaking research at The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, one of most respected hospital-based research institutes in Canada. The foundation is working hard to make The Ottawa Hospital a leading health care facility, with modern facilities and state-of-the-art technology. This is a vital mission for all of eastern Ontario—more than 20,000 cancer patients are treated here every year.
This all adds up to better care for cancer patients.
