Family Physician Opportunity

The Ottawa Hospital Wellness Clinic for Staff and Medical Staff

Background

As part of its Wellness Program Strategic Plan, TOH has invested in a multi-phase Staff and Physician Wellness Centre which will serve as an onsite location for various health and wellness services, specifically targeted to TOH staff and physicians. This includes Family Medicine coverage, Mental Health services including psychology and social work, vaccinations, TB testing, mask fit testing, relaxation rooms with massage chairs and yoga, breathing, stretching rooms.

With 1 in 6 people in Ottawa without a Family Physician, there are thousands of TOH Staff, Physicians and their families who lack access to primary care needed to help them to work at their full potential in caring for acute care patients.
