Ottawa Hospital - General Campus - Ottawa, ON

Waymark Code: WMNECC

I was busy waymarking while transporting hospital visitors to my new grandson. Would it be possible to document my grandson's experiences through waymarking? Let's try.

Ottawa's General Hospital dates back to 1845. The hospital moved to this location on Smyth Road in 1980. The earlier location for the General Hospital was on Sussex Drive. That hospital would eventually become known as the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital. In 1998, amalgamation occurred, creating The Ottawa Hospital. The General Campus is one component of The Ottawa Hospital.

The General Hospital offers many specialized services not available in all hospitals. Concerning neonatal care, for example, the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) is the only level 4 NICU in the region, providing the highest level of neonatal care. My grandson spent his first six weeks in the General Hospital.
