What Lakeridge Health does

Lakeridge Health is a publicly-funded, multi-site hospital system headquartered in Oshawa, Ontario, operating under Ontario's Local Health System Integration Act with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and LHINs. The organization runs five hospitals (Ajax Pickering, Bowmanville, Oshawa, Port Perry, and Whitby), four emergency departments, a long-term care facility (Lakeridge Gardens, which includes an on-site dialysis unit), the Jerry Coughlan Health & Wellness Centre, and over 20 community locations serving Durham Region residents across the full continuum of acute, chronic, mental health, and preventive care. Service lines span cancer care, cardiac care, critical care, diagnostic imaging, emergency and urgent care, kidney care, pediatric care (Kids Care), mental health and addictions (including the Central Connect program), maternity services, rehabilitation, surgery, and seniors' health. Patient-facing digital services include the MyChart health records portal, Video Appointments for virtual care, and a real-time Emergency Department Wait Times tracker. Lakeridge Health is a member of the Durham Ontario Health Team and operates LHEARN (Lakeridge Health Research and Education Network) in partnership with academic and research institutions.

The organization's business model is anchored in government healthcare funding, with OHIP-covered services provided at no direct charge to patients. Ancillary revenue is limited to parking fees, preferred (private/semi-private) accommodations, and other non-medical services. As a non-profit public hospital system, Lakeridge Health is not equity-financed and does not have a parent company or publicly traded securities; governance is administered through Ontario's regional health system framework. Strategic activity includes a major Bowmanville Hospital Redevelopment (currently at RFP stage), ongoing expansion of digital patient services, and active participation in regional care coordination.
