The Ottawa Hospital’s General Campus is one of three main campuses of The Ottawa Hospital – along with the Civic and Riverside campuses. With 569 beds, the General Campus includes The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre and the Cancer Centre. The Ottawa General Hospital first opened its doors in 1845 at the current site of the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital, in the Wayward Market area of Ottawa. In 1980, the General moved to its current location at 501 Smyth Rd.
The University of Ottawa Eye Institute – a major clinical, teaching and research centre in Canada for ophthalmology – is located at the General Campus. The Ottawa Hospital Rehabilitation Centre – part of the Integrated Rehabilitation Program – is also located at the General Campus. The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Program is a comprehensive cancer program serving the Champlain LHIN. As the “hub” of this Regional Cancer Program, The Ottawa Hospital operates a Cancer Centre with two sites – one at the General Campus and the other at the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, located on the grounds of the Queensway Carleton Hospital. Established in 2000, the Kidney Research Centre was Canada’s first research facility devoted exclusively to investigating diseases that attack the kidney. It is affiliated with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, the University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital. In 2012, the Blood Disease Centre opened with a focus on practice-changing research and patient care in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood disorders.
