We recognize the vital connection between a healthy environment and the well-being of the people we serve.
As a healthcare provider, we have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact and promote practices that support the long-term health of our patients, residents, team members, and the communities around us.
Our approach to sustainability is thoughtful and holistic, balancing environmental, societal, and economic considerations. We are committed to embedding environmentally responsible practices into our operations in a fiscally responsible way.

Energy Conservation
We have developed an Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan that reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible resource use. By improving energy efficiency and reducing consumption, we aim to promote sustainability and lower operating costs while continuing to deliver excellent, compassionate care.

Solar Panels
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, we have integrated solar power into our operations. In March 2016, a rooftop solar panel system was successfully installed by iSolara Solar Power of Ottawa under the provincial Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program.
This long-term initiative reduces our environmental footprint by generating clean, renewable energy. Revenue generated through the program, after covering operating costs, is reinvested to support the health and wellness of our patients, residents, and community.
Harnessing solar power reflects our dedication to environmentally responsible practices and innovative solutions that benefit both our organization and the region we serve.
Sustainability in Action
In addition to energy conservation and renewable energy efforts, we support a range of ongoing environmental initiatives.
