OTTAWA — Ground has officially been broken on the new CHEO Integrated Treatment Centre in Ottawa.
The new fully accessible children’s treatment centre will provide integrated and co-ordinated care under one roof to better serve children and youth living with complex medical, developmental and behavioural needs, explains a release.
Construction of the new, approximately 200,000-square-foot site is a multi-year project funded by the Ontario government and CHEO and will be built by EllisDon Infrastructure OCH Inc.
Once complete, it will consolidate services and programs across eight locations under one roof and serve approximately 13,700 children and youth, along with their families, in eastern Ontario.
The centre will be connected to the CHEO hospital and will house a team of professionals who will provide a range of programs and services including: onsite rehabilitation services, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, recreation therapy, and support therapies; co-ordinating care for children and youth with multiple and/or complex special needs; rehabilitation services at schools; and services for children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Completion is expected in 2028.
