Supported by a staff of close to 1,000 healthcare professionals and support personnel, PRH offers a variety of acute and ambulatory care services. The Hospital is a designated District Stroke Centre and offers regional programming in the areas of mental health services, orthopedics, telemedicine, cardiac care, Ontario Breast Screening programs, and cancer care services including systemic therapy (chemotherapy).
Through a variety of partnerships, PRH is able to host a variety of satellite services including a dialysis unit operated by Renfrew Victoria Hospital, a systemic therapy unit for the delivery of chemotherapy which is supervised by local family physicians and coordinated by medical oncologists from The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, as well as numerous other clinical consultations via telemedicine with the Ottawa Heart Institute, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, The Royal Ottawa Hospital and others.
As PRH is a regional referral centre, we have a large active group of physicians working with us. We have access to a significant number of specialists and we have a team of hospitalists who care for those without a family physician. In addition, we are a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine.
We also provide teaching experiences to a wide range of students in various health disciplines. Being a university and college-affiliated hospital keeps PRH at the forefront of patient care, medical knowledge, and health-related research. An important part of our mission is to provide excellent patient care while educating and training future doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.
