Lakeridge Health

Lakeridge Health is one of Ontario’s largest community hospitals, serving people across Durham Region and beyond. We are part of our community and it shows in the care we provide – because the people coming through our doors are our neighbours, family and friends. Durham Region families rely on our many services including a leading regional cancer centre, diabetes management, dialysis, adult and children’s mental health services, and Women’s and Children’s program. With more than 5,000 doctors, nurses and other health care professionals on staff and 1,000 amazing volunteers, our dedicated team of health care professionals give their all every day to keep improving the quality of care delivered, drive down wait times, and improve results. The Lakeridge Health Education and Research Network is attracting new research talent and is now a satellite campus for the Queen’s University Family Medicine Program. And our Whitby site is a national leader in adopting a nurse-practitioner led model of care. Our Strategic Plan outlines our resolve to be recognized nationally as a leader in delivering the best patient and family experience, and to always deliver on our vision of Excellence – every moment, every day.
