CHEO, formerly the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, is a globally renowned pediatric health-care institution located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. CHEO is also a tertiary trauma centre for children and youth in eastern Ontario, Nunavut, northern Ontario and the Outaouais region of Quebec and one of only seven Level I trauma centres for children in Canada (others being the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the Montreal Children's Hospital in Montreal, the Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine in Montreal, IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary, Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, and the British Columbia Children's Hospital in Vancouver).
CHEO first opened its doors on May 17, 1974 at 401 Smyth Road in Ottawa. The site includes a hospital, children's treatment centre, school and research institute, with satellite services located throughout eastern Ontario. CHEO, which is affiliated with the University of Ottawa, provides complex pediatric care, research and education. It is a partner of the Kids Come First Health team and a founding member of Kids Health Alliance, a network of partners.
In addition to its clinical mandate, CHEO is an academic health science centre. Each year, it provides education to 2,300 future pediatricians, nurses, and other health professionals.
In 2024, Forbes Magazine named CHEO the best place to work in Canadian health care. CHEO has also been recognized consistently as a National Capital Region Top Employer for more than a decade.
CHEO is funded by the Government of Ontario as well as by a variety of public donations. One of the hospital's major sources of funding is the CHEO Foundation, which was incorporated in 1974.
CHEO was formed in 1974 due to the efforts of the community requesting a bilingual healthcare centre for children and the approval by the provincial government. The timeline indicates the year major areas of the hospital were established. [2]
