Our Social Responsibility

Everything we do in health care is engrained in a profound social responsibility to our community. We will provide leadership in navigating a complex health system to improve the health of our diverse population and contribute to a healthier planet for all.
- Strategic priority – Advance Indigenous engagement – Continue on our journey to reconciliation to address the systemic racism, discrimination, and inequities pervasive in the health-care system and advance a culture of belonging so that everyone has equitable access, without discrimination, to safe health care that respects Indigenous People’s traditional and living knowledge in all aspects of their health.
- Strategic priority – Advance equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility – Address the systemic racism, discrimination and inequities pervasive in the health-care system and advance a culture of belonging for everyone where we foster accessibility, equity, diversity and inclusion that reflects the people we serve.
- Strategic priority – Lead environmental stewardship in health care – Become a leader in sustainable health care, applying principles of planetary health to improve the well-being of our patients and our community, and contribute positively to a healthier planet.
- Strategic priority – Ensure financially responsible stewardship and sustainability – Preserve financial strength and flexibility to enable world-class care through strategic financial planning and partnerships that support economic opportunities.
- Strategic priority – Harness community support – Acknowledge the trust and endorsement of a generous community and together with The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, build on this spirit of philanthropy and voluntarism to ensure that our community continues to have access to world-class care.
