What we do
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation raises funds to support the critical work of The Ottawa Hospital. Much of this critical work began 100 years ago, when the hospital’s Civic campus welcomed its first patients and launched what would become a century of remarkable healthcare advances. Whether it’s tackling the most complex healthcare issues with compassion or leading the way with research, we are proud to support The Ottawa Hospital and help create a better tomorrow for millions of Canadians every year.
CAMPAIGN TO CREATE TOMORROW
In April 2022, we launched our Campaign to Create Tomorrow — the largest fundraising campaign in Ottawa’s history with an ambitious goal of $500 million. Our Campaign will help build a new campus of The Ottawa Hospital and take healthcare research to unprecedented heights.
This $2.8-billion, world-class academic healthcare centre will push our hospital to the top tier of healthcare and research worldwide.
We will become the most technologically advanced hospital in the country, using the latest tools to provide the right care in the right space with the right provider.
From trauma care to cancer advancements to neuroscience, we will strengthen our critical services for patients across the region.
Through our unique collaborative model of clinicians and researchers working side-by-side, we will bring groundbreaking discoveries to patients in Ottawa and around the world.
