North York General Hospital

What North York General Hospital does

North York General Hospital (NYGH) is a community academic hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto, operating as a not-for-profit public institution under Ontario's Public Hospitals Act and funded primarily by the Ontario Ministry of Health. Founded in 1968, NYGH delivers acute, ambulatory, primary, and long-term care across seven sites in North York, Toronto — including the General site (4001 Leslie Street, housing the Charlotte & Lewis Steinberg Emergency department, Birthing Centre, and Critical Care Unit), the Finch site Reactivation Care Centre, the 192-bed Seniors' Health Centre, Phillips House, and outpatient/minor surgery centres on Champagne Drive and Consumers Road. It serves a catchment of more than 500,000 residents and is among the highest-volume Emergency Departments in the Greater Toronto Area and one of Ontario's busiest birthing centres.

NYGH's clinical portfolio spans emergency and trauma care, medical imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology), the Baruch/Weisz Cancer Centre, maternal/newborn/paediatric services including a Tippet Foundation NICU, comprehensive mental health and addictions programming, Specialized Geriatric Services, palliative care, the Diabetes Education Centre, and a regional Cataract High Volume Centre. Its digital health stack comprises the MyChart patient portal, PocketHealth for diagnostic image access, a Remote Patient Monitoring Virtual Care Program, the NYGH eReferral system for physicians, and a virtual family-visit capability built on Microsoft Teams and FaceTime.

Revenue is dominated by provincial funding through the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), which covers standard ward accommodation at no patient charge. Supplementary revenue is generated through preferred accommodation differentials ($250/day semi-private, $300/day private), ambulance co-payments ($45 for OHIP-insured use, $240 for non-medically-necessary or uninsured transport), Outpatient Pharmacy and Flu/COVID vaccine services, PocketHealth fees, and philanthropic support via the North York General Foundation. NYGH is governed by a Board of Governors and a leadership team including Chair Nicole German and operational directors such as Maja McGuire (Infection Prevention and Control, Occupational Health, Safety and Wellness), and is a core partner in the North York Toronto Health Partners Ontario Health Team, a 50+ organization integrated care network.
