Making a difference in the lives of children, youth and families
CHEO’s Mandate
Our Clinical Mandate
CHEO provides a full spectrum of pediatric services, anchored in a patient and family centred model of care. As the regional provider of pediatric care, CHEO is striving to provide an increased range of services, resources and expertise so that our mission of care extends beyond our hospital walls.
Our Research Mandate
Adjacent to the hospital, CHEO’s Research Institute takes a proactive approach to the development and dissemination of new knowledge to ensure the best treatments for children and youth. Research at CHEO spans many diverse areas, including cancer, obesity, emergency and critical care medicine, bone health, mental health and eHealth. The CHEO RI currently employs 225 research personnel with over $17M of annual research funding.
Our Academic Mandate
CHEO is an academic institution, affiliated with the University of Ottawa and others, and provides a pediatric training ground to medical interns, residents and fellows, as well as students from all health care disciplines. CHEO is committed to this mandate and understands the importance of providing training for tomorrow’s health care providers.
