ICYMI: This past Saturday marked the 10th anniversary of our Wilson Site, a decade since opening North America’s first fully digital hospital and redefining the way healthcare is delivered in Canada.

Since opening our doors on October 18, 2015, Humber River Health has become a model for what is possible when technology, innovation, and compassion unite to create a safer, more efficient, and more patient-centred system of care.

“What began as a vision to build a lean, green, and digital hospital has evolved into a health system that continues to lead with safety and innovation at its core,” says Barb Collins, President and CEO. “Ten years later, the Wilson Site remains an example of what can be achieved when we are bold enough to reimagine healthcare from the ground up.”
