At the time, TOH President and CEO Cameron Love said the hospital planned to work with AOAO and the province to build a private, standalone surgical centre that would function as The Ottawa Hospital’s “high efficiency” orthopedic centre for patients requiring day surgery, leaving more complex cases for hospital operating rooms. He said the proposed facility would operate full time, in contrast to the weekend surgeries currently performed at Riverside. New rules around private surgical centres appear to prohibit groups from renting existing hospital space.
