Feb. 20, 2018 — Ottawa — Parents’ Lifelines of Eastern Ontario (PLEO) and Autism Ontario – Ottawa Chapter are excited to be supporting the #1door4care initiative to secure funding for a new treatment centre on CHEO – OCTC’s main campus.

The #1door4care initiative to secure funding for a new treatment centre on CHEO – OCTC’s main campus has named co-chairs to lead its Family Advisory Table — Steven Herzog and Barb Shantz.

Under #1door4care, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario – Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (CHEO – OCTC) and CHEO Foundation have been running an awareness campaign to show the Government of Ontario how Eastern Ontario strongly supports a new building that will serve as a hub for mental health and special.

Wait times for child and youth mental health care have dropped by 73% at CHEO and 91% at The Royal compared to 2014/15 waits, according to the Young Minds Partnership Annual Report Card released today. This dramatic improvement comes despite increased demand — referrals are up 25% at CHEO and 73% at The Royal — and frozen provincial funding for outpatient services.

For the seventh time, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario – Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (CHEO – OCTC) has been recognized as one of the 2018 National Capital Region’s Top Employers. The honour puts CHEO among the region’s most respected and influential organizations, from a number of different industries.

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario – Children’s Treatment Centre (CHEO – OCTC) is proud to be named one of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures in the public sector – joining Ducks Unlimited Canada, Edmonton Economic Development Corporation, Egg Farmers of Canada, Energie NB Power, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Travel Alberta.

For the last two years, CHEO – OCTC has also been ranked No.
