A Message from the President
Windsor Regional Hospital Corporate Information
Welcome to Windsor Regional Hospital, a multi-faceted, health services organization operating from two main sites, the Metropolitan Campus and the Ouellette Campus.
Windsor Regional Hospital is one of the largest community hospitals in the Province of Ontario. We are the regional provider of advanced care in areas that include complex trauma, renal dialysis, cardiac care, stroke and neurosurgery, intensive care, acute mental health, family birthing centre, neonatal intensive care, paediatric services, regional cancer services, and a broad range of medical and surgical services required to support these specialized areas for more than 400,000 people in Windsor and Essex County.
Windsor Regional Hospital was one of the first hospitals to introduce patient quality and safety indicators publicly. These include Hospital Standardized Mortality Ratios (HSMR), Hospital Acquired Infection rates, patient and staff satisfaction, and financial performance. Windsor Regional Hospital will regularly publish its performance information, using indicators to measure and report on how well we're doing towards meeting targets and/or to highlight areas for ongoing improvement.
Windsor Regional Hospital is committed to providing Outstanding Care - No Exceptions!
The engine of Windsor Regional is its staff. This includes employees, professional staff (medical/dental staff), and volunteers. Windsor Regional Hospital has been recognized and honoured by local, provincial, and national organizations for its workplace initiatives.
