The Ottawa Hospital is a public institution and provides care to the most critically ill in Eastern Ontario and throughout Nunavut.<\/p>\n

The hospital is working with the community to address key issues. In September, a third-party engagement report<\/a> was released which identifies the issues that are important to the community and recommends a way forward.<\/p>\n

In November and December, the hospital held an initial series of seven public information sessions. Feedback included concern about greenspace, mature trees on the site, parking, access and traffic; a summary of the feedback can be seen here<\/a>. The next Open House session will take place on January 31 at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne, from 7 to 9 p.m., where architects and health planners will present an initial design concept for the new campus, that takes into account the community feedback we have heard so far.<\/p>\n

Those initial sessions outlined key points including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The campus being built is a public-sector, not private-sector development, and does not include the development of private sector structures such as condos.<\/li>\n
  2. The new design will propose underground parking<\/a> as an integral part of the design of the new campus.<\/li>\n
  3. The hospital supports institutional zoning by the City, which by definition does not permit the development of condos and other similar private sector buildings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The hospital looks forward to working with the people of Ottawa on solutions that serve patients and the community for this and future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
