Royal Victoria Hospital in Ontario - Canada

Royal Victoria Hospital is a 299-bed acute care community hospital based in Barrie, Ontario, a rapidly-growing city of over 125,000 residents, just an hour north of Toronto. The Royal Victoria Hospital is the only hospital in Barrie and provides specialized services to patients from a huge geographical region - including Simcoe County and the districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound. Our dynamic and progressive medical team of over 280 skilled physicians, almost 2,300 caring staff members and 1,100 dedicated volunteers provide outstanding health care specializing in Cancer Care, Surgical Services, Critical Care, Mental Health Rehabilitation Services, as well as Women and Children's programs.

RVH is a state-of-the-art facility that has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. There are in excess of 68,000 visits to our Emergency Department annually and clinical activities across the board have virtually doubled since the hospital opened in 1997. Extraordinary growth has occurred in surgical services, cancer care and diagnostic support services. It is the site of one of only two MRI units in the region, and is the only hospital in the LHIN to offer minimally invasive Interventional Radiology.

Barrie has the fastest-growing youth population in Canada, and as a result, RVH offers a robust array of infant and paediatric clinics and services including an asthma clinic, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) clinic, endocrinology clinic and a pediatric conscious sedation program. Additionally, RVH is home to a well established Children's Development Services team and coordinates and administers speech and language therapy programs throughout the region. There were almost 2400 babies born at RVH last year and while most of those babies return home with their parents shortly after birth, those that need extra care can receive it in a12-isolette Advanced Level II Special Care Nursery, or one-to-one intensive care in two infant care centres, all under the supervision of a staff neonatologist.
