Due to heavy rainfall on July 1, a few areas of the hospital have been impacted.
All clinical services, appointments, and procedures continue as scheduled. We thank staff who came in during the holidays and worked overnight on clean-up and remediation.
Some patient and visitor traffic inside the hospital is being rerouted and one bank of elevators remains closed. As @OttawaHospital has shared, work is underway to support TOH on water damage and patient care at the Irving Greenberg Cancer Center located on the QCH campus.
