Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital is the first hospital to be built in the City of Vaughan, and the first net new hospital to be built in Ontario in more than 30 years.
As part of Mackenzie Health’s two-site hospital model, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital and Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital work in tandem with Mackenzie Health’s community-based locations to provide increased access to state-of-the-art health care closer to home for the residents of western York Region and beyond.
On February 7, 2021, Mackenzie Health opened Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital to provide relief for the capacity challenges being faced across the province as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Only critical care (ICU) and medicine beds were open to bring relief to our community, as well as the province’s overstretched health system. On June 6, 2021, we were able to fully open Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital as a second hospital in our community. The new hospital is now home to specialized programs including Woman and Child, Inpatient Mental Health and Inpatient Stroke along with core services such as surgery, medicine and critical care and a full-service Emergency Department.
Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital is the first hospital to be built in the City of Vaughan, and the first net new hospital to be built in Ontario in more than 30 years.
As part of Mackenzie Health, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital is the first smart hospital in Canada, featuring fully integrated smart technology systems and medical devices that can speak directly to one another to maximize information exchange and enable improved patient care. Through modern and proven best practices, the hospital provides state-of-the-art health care and positive outcomes for patients and their families. Most importantly, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital has created much-needed health care capacity for York Region, expanding access to care for our community.
