Twenty Ontario hospitals are earning accolades for their dedication to advancing healthcare in Canada, ranking among the nation’s top research institutions. Recognized for their cutting-edge research and commitment to improving patient care, these facilities are shaping the future of healthcare.

Research Powerhouse: Ontario Hospitals Top Rankings

This recognition stems from the annual Research Infosource Inc. ranking, identifying Canada’s Top 40 Research Hospitals based on research spending. Fueled by significant investments from philanthropy, government, and industry, these institutions spearhead groundbreaking research, translating to tangible improvements in patient outcomes.

Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) President and CEO Anthony Dale emphasizes the crucial role these hospitals play: “Ontario research hospitals are at the forefront of healthcare innovation in Canada. Their dedication to research has led to crucial clinical advancements and continues to refine healthcare delivery. As our population evolves, Ontario’s hospitals will remain a cornerstone, reimagining and redesigning services to meet these changing needs.”

Collaboration Creates Breakthroughs

What truly sets these hospitals apart is their collaborative environment. Clinicians, scientists, and researchers work seamlessly, fostering a direct connection between research and patient care. This synergy has led to breakthroughs in areas like kidney, respiratory, and cardiovascular disease, impacting countless lives.

Investment Fuels Innovation and Economic Impact

The commitment to innovation is unwavering. Ontario’s research hospitals attracted a staggering $1.82 billion in investments in 2021-22, showcasing their transformative potential. These investments not only improve patient care but also drive operational advancements and propel Canada’s clinical trials and pandemic preparedness efforts through strategic national partnerships.

Beyond Healthcare: Fostering Talent and Economic Growth

The impact extends beyond immediate healthcare benefits. These institutions nurture scientific talent and contribute significantly to Canada’s economic prosperity. Since 2017-18, they have generated nearly 1,400 intellectual property disclosures and $162 million in commercialization revenue from over 680 products, highlighting the value of investing in research hospitals.

OHA Committed to Leading the Charge

“We are incredibly proud of Ontario’s research hospitals for their unwavering commitment to improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes,” concluded Dale. “The OHA and its member hospitals are committed to leading the charge in re-engineering hospital-based care, ensuring that scientific, technological, and clinical breakthroughs are translated into tangible improvements for all Canadians.”
