Friday, November 22, 2019 — <\/strong>The Ottawa Hospital New Campus Engagement Group\n(CEG) has released its first report, A\nHealthy Ottawa Planning Partnership<\/a><\/em>, <\/em>based on the group\u2019s\nwork since May 2018 as an advisory body for developing and planning the\nhospital\u2019s new campus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report presents\nthe emerging community vision of The Ottawa Hospital\u2019s new campus: a site that\nis integrated into its surrounding community and supports a healthier Ottawa.\nIt follows three main themes as it outlines the community\u2019s relationship with the hospital\nand opportunities for working with government partners on creating a healthy\nOttawa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Promoting healthy living<\/li>
  2. Building a healthy Ottawa\nthrough institutional partnerships<\/li>
  3. Establishing a community\nnetwork<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The report has been endorsed by The Ottawa\nHospital\u2019s Board of Governors and will be presented to municipal, provincial\nand federal partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CEG members have found that building a\nhealthy Ottawa is a critical point of intersection where many of their key\ngoals converge with those of the City, notably as a critical element in the\nCity\u2019s new Official\nPlan<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of the most important decisions to\nsupport the CEG\u2019s vision of a hospital that is integrated with the community\nwill lie with the City of Ottawa. By entering into a planning partnership, the\nCEG, the hospital and the City can ensure that their processes and visions are\naligned and working together to make Ottawa healthier. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis new health-care facility will be\nintegrated with the community from day one, so having community voices included\nin the project from the beginning is essential,\u201d said Katherine Cotton, Chair\nof The Ottawa Hospital Board of Governors. \u201cWe are thankful for the Campus Engagement\nGroup\u2019s hard work on this report, and eager to incorporate more community\nvoices and expand on this work through a series of community events over the\ncoming year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following this report, the CEG will\ncontinue to be embedded in the project as an integral part of the engagement\nprocess. This includes discussions on transportation, heritage, greenspace and\naccess to ensure that community voices are reflected in work to complete zoning\nrequirements on the new site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A framework will be developed to engage\nFirst Nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis patients, families, communities, and\norganizations on improving care at the new site, as well as at The Ottawa\nHospital\u2019s existing campuses. This framework will build on ongoing discussions\nwith communities and organizations about the new campus, as well as work by\nteams at The Ottawa Hospital and the\nChamplain LHIN<\/a> to improve care for Indigenous peoples in Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Campus Engagement Group is one of three\nways the hospital is engaging the public on the new campus, alongside online\nactivities and in-person events<\/a> such as community town halls. In\nthe coming weeks, the hospital will announce a new event series to continue\nshaping and defining the community narrative around the new site, which will be\ndocumented by a second report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Community feedback continues to play a key\nrole in the early planning work on the hospital\u2019s new campus. The hospital is now\nbeginning the second of five planning stages in the Ministry of Health\u2019s\ncapital projects process, in which planners will develop the \u2018functional\nprogram\u2019 for the site. Detailed design comes in the third planning stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    More\nabout the Campus Engagement Group: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Campus Engagement Group\u2019s members\ninclude community leaders from local neighbourhood associations and groups that\nadvocate for seniors, greenspace, heritage, the Central Experimental Farm,\npatients, and people who have disabilities, as well as members of the hospital\u2019s administration, the City of Ottawa, and the National\nCapital Commission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Campus Engagement Group makes\nrecommendations to the hospital\u2019s Board of Governors by deliberating, comparing\nperspectives and identifying possible compromises together. It was created\nbased on recommendations in the third-party engagement report Setting\nthe Stage, Turning the Page<\/a><\/em>. Its formation is documented in the\nreport From\nBuy-In to Ownership<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Ottawa Hospital\u2019s new campus will be\nlocated near the intersection of Carling Avenue and Preston Street., bordered\nby Prince of Wales Drive and Maple Lane. It will be the location of eastern Ontario\u2019s Regional Trauma Centre, and\nwill be the centre for complex, specialized care for patients in Ottawa,\neastern Ontario, western Quebec, and parts of Nunavut. It\nwas included in the 2019 Infrastructure Ontario Market Update.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
