Building one of the most technologically advanced research and teaching hospitals in Canada – right here in Ottawa
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform healthcare, accelerate world-leading research, and build a future-ready hospital for our growing city and beyond.
The Campaign to Create Tomorrow is an ambitious $500-million fundraising effort that will help reshape how care is delivered for generations to come.
Let’s make history together
Healthcare is changing and the systems, spaces, and technologies used to care for patients also need to evolve — for a better, healthier future.
The new hospital on Carling Avenue will be a catalyst for change as part of The Ottawa Hospital’s broad vision to reshape the future of healthcare. The new campus will help increase capacity, improve efficiency, modernize how care is delivered, and unlock innovations that make treatment faster, safer, and more precise.
Ottawa is uniquely positioned to lead this moment
Ottawa is a national hub for health innovation — home to top research institutes, biotech companies, world-class universities, and one of the highest concentrations of tech talent in North America, tied only with San Francisco.
This city offers an ecosystem built for breakthroughs, and The Ottawa Hospital sits at the centre, already delivering the latest advancements in trauma care, regenerative medicine, cancer treatment, research, and emergency medicine. The new campus will build on these strengths — expanding our capabilities, accelerating discovery, and creating the state-of-the-art environment for our clinicians, researchers, and scientists to shape the next century of care.
Building on The Ottawa Hospital’s existing network of 22 satellite locations, which provide specialized care across the region, the new campus will help support the hospital’s vision to provide patients with the care they need, where they need it — whether it’s early and preventative community-based services, hospital-based care for the most critically ill, long-term care, or home care.
The new hospital will help address capacity, improve access, and help patients move through their healthcare journey.
All of this is made possible with your support.
The economic impact
Major hospital infrastructure projects create significant economic benefits. Construction of the new campus is projected to generate over $1.24 billion in labour income, 4,000+ full-time equivalent jobs in Ottawa alone, and nearly $2 billion into the local economy.
