Mackenzie Health

What Mackenzie Health does

Mackenzie Health is a non-profit regional healthcare provider operating two full-service hospitals, community-based programs, and long-term care facilities across western York Region, Ontario. The organization serves more than 550,000 residents in Richmond Hill, Vaughan, King Township, and surrounding communities through Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital (24/7 emergency department, core medical/surgical/critical care services) and Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital (Canada's first smart hospital, opened June 6, 2021, with the second-busiest emergency department in the province handling 600-700+ daily visits). Clinical services span cardiology, oncology (Princess Margaret Cancer Care Network member since March 2025), vascular surgery (Level 3 Vascular Program designated December 2025), mental health (52 beds after 62% capacity expansion in 2025), chronic kidney disease, complex continuing care, rehabilitation, seniors' health, and women's and children's services across multiple sites including a chronic kidney disease program spanning Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Markham.

The organization's digital and physical infrastructure centers on an Epic Electronic Medical Record system validated at HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 (highest level, first acute care hospital in Canada with ED and ICU to achieve this in 2018, revalidated three times), a MyChart patient portal with mobile applications, and IoT-powered smart building systems from Johnson Controls (Metasys, OpenBlue) delivering 44% natural gas reduction, 28% GHG reduction, and LEED Silver certification at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. Mackenzie Health is also a lead partner in the York University School of Medicine opening 2028 adjacent to Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital.

The business model is primarily public funding through Ontario Health (provincial OHIP allocations) for hospital operations, supplemented by co-payment revenue from Complex Continuing Care patients (calculated per provincial guidelines), retail pharmacy and food vendor ancillary revenue, and charitable fundraising through the affiliated Mackenzie Health Foundation (established 1977). The Foundation completed a $250 million Ultimate campaign, the largest campaign led by a community hospital in Canada, and continues to raise material funds through signature events (Ride, Strides, Spotlight), major donor gifts (Goldberg Family Foundation, Paul B. Helliwell Foundation), and corporate sponsorships.
