The Humber River Regional Hospital (HRRH) was established in 1997 with the merger of three community hospitals (Humber Memorial, Northwestern General, and York-Finch General Hospitals). One of Ontario’s largest and most vital regional acute care facilities, HRRH is located in Canada’s fastest growing and most ethnically-diverse community. The hospital has almost 600 beds, 3,000 staff and approximately 700 credentialed physicians.

Positioned to be on the cutting edge of acute hospital care in Canada, Humber River Regional Hospital’s redevelopment plan, approved by the Ontario government, will see it move to a new, state-of-the-art acute care facility. The centerpiece of HRRH’s new Model of Care, this new hospital will be futuristic, utilizing the latest technology to support the provision of high-quality patient-centred care. The planning has already begun.

HRRH is a designated Regional Peadiatric Centre, a member of the Child Health Network of the GTA, a Regional Dialysis Centre – with Canada’s first home nocturnal dialysis program – and was recently named Ontario’s first medical Centre of Excellence, for laparoscopic bariatric surgery. It receives almost 100,000 emergency visits, sees approximately 365,000 out-patients, provides 23,000 day-surgeries, and 8,000 in-patient surgeries yearly. Additionally, HRRH works with some 70 community agencies to support health care services within its community.
