How come the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre doesn have an emergency department?
The new Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s approach to providing specialized mental health care is similar to the way the uOttawa Heart Institute is a centre of excellence for people needing unique treatment programs for complex, often chronic, cardiac disease. Like the Heart Institute, the Centre does not have an emergency department because patients will be referred from physicians in the community or psychiatric programs in hospitals throughout the region when specialized care is appropriate.
