CHEO Integrated Treatment Centre

CHEO’s Integrated Treatment Centre will improve care and increase access to services for kids and youth living with complex medical, developmental, behavioural or mental health needs. The new six-storey building will be located on CHEO’s main campus and will be connected by a link to the main hospital.

The dream began 15 years ago as we recognized the challenges faced by families with children and youth with complex needs. CHEO wanted to create a facility that provides everything families need in a centralized location and connects these programs and services together, so families receive integrated, seamless care.

Inspired by Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land, the new building will incorporate elements of nature such as native plants in the landscaping and biophilic design representing flora and fauna from the Algonquin lands.

Connected by a link to the main hospital building, some of the highlights of this 220,000-square-foot building will include:

  • Multi-use clinic space.
  • Physiotherapy rehab gym.
  • Expanded mental health clinics.
  • Indoor and outdoor multi-use space.
  • Space for children and youth with complex emotional needs.
  • State-of-the-art treatment rooms.
  • Advanced technology to enable virtual care.
  • Family support and community spaces.
  • New parking structure.

Expected to be completed in 2028, the new building will serve families and provide an improved approach to care through a new model co-created by clinicians and patients.

CHEO is working with Infrastructure Ontario to deliver this multi-year project, with funding provided by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), and donors through the CHEO Foundation. The project is being designed and built by EllisDon Infrastructure OCH Inc.

With the new facility, a new model of care will be co-designed to help families achieve the outcomes that matter most to them.

We’re committed to putting people first and working with family representatives and community partners to build a facility and develop a model of care that best serves their needs. Here are a few examples of how we are achieving this:

  • Indigenous community survey: With the help of NVision, we are consulting with Indigenous communities to ensure the facility and its services are a welcoming space for all First Nations, Inuit and Métis families. Here is the link to the survey.
  • Family advisory committee: The Family Advisory Committee (FAC) consists of a group of individuals and community partners that provide guidance, recommendations and feedback to CHEO. Learn more about the FAC.
Photo Gallery: Here We Grow will appear here on the public site.
