Lobby at Holland Bloorview 

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital has received the highest possible rating from Accreditation Canada for providing quality and safe care.

Accreditation Canada is an independent, not-for-profit organization that sets standards for safety and quality in healthcare. Accreditation is a voluntary peer review process for health care organizations across the nation that happens every three to four years.

From September 29 to October 2, Accreditation Canada conducted a comprehensive onsite review of Holland Bloorview, measuring practices against national standards. They also interviewed clients, community partners and board trustees.

The hospital received an overall rating of 100 per cent with Exemplary Standing.

Details noted in the accreditation report include the hospital’s family leadership program, strong governing body and strategic plans for the future. The report also praised the hospital’s modern and welcoming facility.

 “Holland Bloorview is proud to have earned this remarkable rating from Accreditation Canada,” says Sheila Jarvis, Holland Bloorview’s President and CEO. “We are committed to providing the best possible care for our young clients and their families and this rating recognizes the exceptional work we do every day.”
