The Ottawa Hospital

The Ottawa Hospital, or L'Hôpital d'Ottawa, is a non-profit, public university teaching hospital in Ottawa, Canada. The hospital is made up of the former Grace Hospital, Riverside Hospital, Ottawa General Hospital and Ottawa Civic Hospital. It is a 1,117-bed academic health sciences centre affiliated with the University of Ottawa, and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute is located at the hospital's Civic Campus. The Ottawa Hospital is also one of two trauma centres in Eastern Ontario and southern Quebec. The other is Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario accommodating juvenile and adolescent patients.

History

During World War II, when Canada provided refuge to the Dutch royal family, then Princess Juliana gave birth to her daughter Princess Margriet in Ottawa at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The hospital's maternity ward was temporarily declared to be officially part of international territory so that Margriet would inherit full Dutch citizenship from her mother.

The Ottawa Civic Hospital was built to replace the city's existing Protestant hospitals, most notably the Carleton County Protestant General Hospital on Rideau Street, now Wallis House, which dated from the 1870s. In 1921, the construction of the civic hospital was estimated to cost $1,500,000. The facility, which was championed by Harold Fisher, opened on Carling Avenue in 1924. It is a modern 456 bed teaching hospital. The University of Ottawa Heart Institute forms part of the civic campus.
