Completed in 1845, this hospital originally opened on Bruyère Street as the Ottawa General Hospital. In 1980, the General moved to its Smyth Road location. Today Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital offers the following programs and services.
Care of the Elderly and Rehabilitation
As
Ottawa's largest single site provider of in-patient rehabilitation, Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital serves the community with 90 rehabilitation beds. The rehabilitation program is designed to maximize the functional ability of patients who have suffered an injury and offers geriatric and stroke rehabilitation.
In partnership with the Rehabilitation Network of Ottawa, we provide stroke and in-patient geriatric rehabilitation and work in close collaboration with the Regional Geriatric Program of Ottawa.
Palliative Care
With 36-beds, Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital is home to
Canada’s largest academic palliative care and end-of-life hospital unit and is
Ottawa’s only palliative care hospital unit.
There are two types of admissions in the palliative care program; pain and symptom management and end-of-life care. The in-patient care provides an interdisciplinary approach to physical, psychosocial, and spiritual suffering. We also offer an out-patient service through the Palliative Care Pain and Symptom Management Team.
