Message from President & CEO

Welcome to Bruyère Health, Eastern Ontario’s leading health organization specializing in aging, rehabilitation, and care for those with multiple complex medical conditions. We bring together compassionate, person-centred care with world-class research to maximize quality for you, our patients, and your loved ones.

Bruyère Health has a proven history of addressing gaps in our health system with
compassion, innovation, and courage. Today, as an academic health sciences centre,
we are training the next generation of health professionals to see — and take action on — creating a better health system for all.

Research and innovation happening at Bruyère Health is enhancing the patient experience and improving programs and services here and across Canada. As a patient, you may be asked to participate in these research and innovation projects and we are grateful when you do. Your experiences and expertise are valued in our efforts to provide exceptional care.

This patient handbook was developed with input from our Patient and Family Advisory Committee to help you and your loved ones feel informed and supported during your stay at Bruyère Health’s Élisabeth-Bruyère Hospital or Saint-Vincent Hospital.

We want you to know that your quality of life is at the heart of everything we do. We are honoured to be part of your care journey and are committed to supporting you along the way.

				Guy Chartrand President and CEO
