University Health Network

The University Health Network encompasses well known Toronto area hospitals: Toronto  General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital and most recently the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. As the name suggests, the network of hospitals distinguishes four separate health care facilities with their own identity, but with an interdependence and interactive patient care.

Each hospital is unique, with different areas of specialization. The hospitals have long and proud histories of success, and a strong commitment to excellence in patient care, research and education.

To enhance patient-care, the University Health Network has organized resources of physicians, staff and services into seven Focus of Care Areas:
