100 Moments of the Civic Campus: Dr. Kitts remembers April 1998

April 1998 brought major change to healthcare delivery in Ottawa and the surrounding regions. 
That’s when the Civic, General, Riverside, and Grace hospitals were brought together to create The Ottawa Hospital. 
Watch as Dr. Kitts shares about that historic time in our hospital’s history and his own memories from his decades of leadership. 
Now, serving a population of more than two million people - and home to some of the world’s most cutting-edge medical research - The Ottawa Hospital has touched countless lives. 
Along with our three main campuses, we also operate more than 20 off-campus sites, including seven kidney dialysis clinics across Eastern Ontario, the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, and the breast screening clinic at Hampton Park Plaza.

The Ottawa Hospital is one of Canada’s largest learning and research hospitals, with more than 1,100 beds and approximately 12,000 staff members.
Our focus on learning and research helps us develop new and innovative ways to treat patients and improve care. As a multi-campus hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa, we deliver specialized care to the Eastern Ontario region, but our techniques and research discoveries are adopted around the world. We engage the community at all levels to support our vision for better patient care.
From the compassion of our people to the relentless pursuit of new discoveries, The Ottawa Hospital never stops seeking solutions to the most complex healthcare challenges.
